Greetings,

Yesterday my VPS was being transitioned to a new server,
during which I was looking for a solution to host a simple no-frills html website.

I found a few options, they had too many ads.

So I created the hostless script.
It uses a PHP GET variable to allow the content to be in the url.

It occurred to me, What if a person used the script for illegal content?
I would have no reasonable way to block/remove illegal content, short of taking down the script.
If a person used my script for illegal content, could I be prosecuted/held responsible?
Using Base64 images, any image that is illegal could be displayed using my script.(Subject to uri limits imposed by PHP/the browser)

I doubt any lawyers come here, however perhaps one of you has some experience in a similar circumstance.
EDIT: Would DMCA content provider protections apply to my script?
If so, would I be able to refuse take-down notices on account of the fact that I don't host anything?


Thanks.
hostmaster

It's much better you search for DMCA lawyer on web. Also dmca.com site offers very useful data. They can answer you, too. If you do big business you definately need one dmca agent. You can applly online to be dmca agency. They need simply address telefon etc. such basic information. I am not expert but i can advice you Google Smiley
