Can we use contents from other websites and put it on our website.

1. Images
Can we just go to websites like www.hollywood.com and take some of their images and put a Celebrity Gallery on our website with their images.

2. mp3s.
Can we download the mp3s from other websites and upload them on our servers to allow others to download?

3. Games.
Can we download the games from other websites and put on our websites for others to download.

Other than the above, can we use any contents from websites and put it on our own website?

Better left for someone that can explain "why" better. :)

copyright.

Even if the other website does not pursue a copyright violation it is just plain rude to steal other peoples content without asking. Come up with your own content.

i remember reading in a web design book, and towards the end there was a "extra chapter" covering more info and as i recall, it says if its on your site, its pretty much your property and in your possession. that's basically what i ment.

If you are looking for free content to enhance your website and don't want to spend the next 10 years fighting legal battles....
Try a search on Google for 'free content' or 'content syndication'
or , even better, Kresch (http://kresch.com/resources/)

There are also sites you can go to and purchase graphics.. that way you own the pictures and are not infringing on copyright.. Thats probably the safest way to go.
Just search for website graphics

or try a search for 'stock photography'...
