Will there be copyright infringement on the site?
Hello!
Let's assume the situation:
There is a social network
There is a page with audio
recordings Audio recordings are added by the users themselves and when they are added, it is displayed that "The audio file must not violate copyright and related rights"
Also, when registering, the user agrees with the rules of the site, which says that the site is not responsible for copyright infringement rights when a user downloads audio recordings
. If the copyright holder notices a violation, he can write to those. support and audio recordings with the given name and the same size will be deleted
Now the question
itself Does the site itself violate copyright? Is there anything to judge him for?

Actually, if I don’t confuse, VKontakte is now suing Sony Music over copyright on audio recordings, when there is a final decision, then there will be an answer.
If, when uploading a file, the user explicitly agrees that the content he uploads is not the object of someone else's copyright (or he has the right to distribute this content), then the site is not an "infringer".
But, two points must be taken into account:
1) We will have to promptly process and remove the demands of the right traffickers. In particular, the evaluation criteria you specified "violates - does not violate" they may not be satisfied.
2) You may be required to provide uploader data for further investigation with them.
Here's another funny lohak that no one has yet tried to use like - copyright infringement occurs when brought to an UNDEFINED circle of people. Thus, if you show audio recordings only to those users who registered on the resource before the recording was added, then bringing the copyright object to a well-defined circle of people and therefore is not a de jure copyright infringement. And if the law was respected in our country, you would have nothing for it;)
