    Music on websites. Legal?

    The reason I ask is because my site allows users to upload demos of their band for their profile. If I were to add a disclaimer telling my users that they are responsible for obtaining the proper permission and paying any royalties, and I can't be held responsible for any breach of this, would...

    Music on websites. Legal?

    If it is my band, with a recording of my band playing a well known song, is it illegal for me to put that recording on my website? I don't see why I would need an agent or record studios permission. Maybe the copyright owner of the song? If so does anyone know what license I would need and...

    Music on websites. Legal?

    I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is legal to have audio clips on your website. i.e. for a band that plays cover songs and wants to let people hear their live recordings.

    Number Counter help please?

    You obviously have use of databases since you have a forum. Store the current total raised in a database first. I assume people can donate using paypal or similar? If so, on your payment complete page, you can run a php script that will get the amount paid and the current total, add them...

    recording calls

    You can actually get phones that record if you are only after a small scale usage. http://www.neilhoward.co.uk/intelligent-cassette-kit.php http://www.shop.bt.com/productview.aspx?quicklinx=4Y0H However I am pretty sure there are laws about recording phone calls. i.e. you must tell the person...

    Number Counter help please?

    can you not just pass each donation amount at the end of the order to a php script that adds it to the current total and display the total on your site?

    Do webdesigners ever go "50-50"?

    £1000 as a minimum would be normal for most website design and development. I suppose the whole thing should appeal to a web designer who doesn't really have anything better to do. They might as well create the website for free as an addition to their portfolio and on the off chance they might...

    Do webdesigners ever go "50-50"?

    No. "£1000 at the most" is ridiculous.

    I would like to know how to get people to visit a particular website

    I think it is a feeble attempt at copying the million dollar website. The difference is, you actually get something for your dollar in return with the original website. This just seems like trying to start a new online trend of begging.

    Do webdesigners ever go "50-50"?

    I have to say, £1000 at the most for a website is ridiculous. I am currently working on a £2500 website for one of my clients and I have made £8000 websites as well. It depends on the scale of the site and what it does. Do you think facebook or myspace or ebay would have been done for less than...

    Investment offer

    I created a website about a year ago that is user driven and initially made it a free service for my local area that has taken off. I got a call from someone who liked the idea and was interested in investing in the site and becoming a partner. I already had plans to start earning money from...

    B2B emails - what's allowed?

    Sending any sort of email, mail, telesales etc... is totally legal to any business. Once you advertise yourself as a business you are opening yourself up to sales people. The email side though, even though it is legal, it does not mean it is a good idea. As monsoon mentioned, if you receive a...

    Charging for a job offering installments

    Thanks for all the replies. I think to avoid buying a CCL, I will charge quarterly. If I do this, can it still be an annual contract that must be paid to completion, even if canceled early? I checked on the CCL application and it says I wouldn't need a license if it is 4 payments or less to...
