Re: band fan Site

Hello. In my opinion, your band fan

site is a website like any other. Therefore I do not see why you would need a special license. The legal issue here is whether you have a right to protection of your ideas, etc. on the site. My answer is yes. I suggests that you take steps to copyright all of your online work so that this rival will be forced to go away. Will be happy to discuss this with you further and in more detail.
