Greetings people,

I intend to open a website that foucuses on flash games mostly but also on funny movie clips and pictures.I am quite new in the web site industry.

I looked around google and some forums and did not found much info but i did find that you can not just go downloading stuff of the web and make them public on a site.

-So far i found some flash-games web sites that have a section on game downloads free to use on websites... maybie i am just paranoid but is it posible that those sites could use stolen flash games and claim you can use them but then the user could get in trouble?

-And anyone knows how can i get a hold of some free funny pictures/movies to use on web sites ?

any tips are appreciated, thx in advance

Of course not. It's no different than illegal mp3 or software downloads.

Possible for sure, but not super likely. You'd probably do better in court if you honestly believed them when they told you everything is legit, tho. The act of them lieing might protect you some?

Here's another site I go to for free stock photos, it's really high quality, they're free, and in fact they're "open source" which is a really new concept for graphics.

Thanks for the link drop there "Not so Newbie".

Mihai, what you should look into is rights managed content however, for your specific niche, this might be hard to find. Your best bet is to start creating your own content. Take your camera with you everywhere to catch those funny moments; video camera as well. The key here is that the unique content will draw visitors way better than using stock images or stuff that has been over circulated. When you draw visitors you are more and more likely to get some of them adding their own unique content.
