How do they do that anyway?

Hi all-

Another strange topic and question. Sorry if this is the wrong thread I could not find a good thread. My brain is always ticking nad trying to find a new site concepts and etc.

I had some ideas for a site and need some help. I ran accross this site
http://www.videocodezone.com/ which is actually for sale. (not be me though too bad) and I was wondering where you find this kind of content free music videos. THe webmaster said he just finds the videos and then adds html code to it so others can steram or link to the video but the actual videos are not even on his server.

I have a music related site and think this would be a great way to add traffic to offer free video codes like this one but I have no idea where to find sources of music videos. I started searching on google and I am finding something but mostly the sites have their own linking code to the video and not the soruce where it is comming from. At least as best I can tell.

any ideas?

They say it is leagal what do you think?

I think a lot of lawyers are going to get very rich in the US, trying to sort out just what sort of links it's legal to put on any given site. I imagine that, as long as you make it clear that you're not hosting the video, and provide some sort of link back to the real host (not that that has to be obvious, of course), you ought to be okay. Of course, I'm not a lawyer, or (say) a representative of the RIAA, so my opinion doesn't amount to anything at all.

 

That is kind of what I thought. I know it is on the border of leagal or not as much of the web is.

Where can you find this type of content though? ANy ideas? My searching has not provided much of an orginal source. I found stuff on Yahoo Music and other places but I don;t think Yahoo wants me hotlinking to their music videos for other people to stream while I make the money off the adsense ads. Just a thought but think they might not be too happy.

Thanks

Videocodezone.com is going down because Myspace.com blocked them. Most traffic are from myspace users and now is blocked so they selling it.
