I see lots of sites using copyrighted material such as music, pictures, videos. Can I create a startup based on copyrighted materials? Will I goto jail if I do so?

I donno if you will go to jail if you do so, but there are certainly laws that protect content. And this is good, because you don't anyone using your own creation for their own profit, do you?

But there are ways around this. The Creative Commons is definitely one way that makes it easy for people to collaborate and use each other's ideas to grow and create more/better content. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_commons
