Is it ethical (and legal) to sell access to content you don't own?

If by &quot;content you don&#x27;t own&quot; you mean &quot;pubic domain works&quot; or &quot;copyrighted works for which you have a license that permits sale&quot;, then sure. If you mean &quot;copyrighted content you don&#x27;t have a license for&quot;, then that&#x27;s pretty much the most blatant possible way to violate copyright.<p>&gt;This material is shared here under the applicable laws for fair non-commercial use.<p>Well, it&#x27;s worth a laugh at least.

Stumbled across this &quot;distributor&quot;. For what I have understood, he just have a huge collection and paywalls it. He literally claims &quot;This website owns none of the music. The copyrights remain with the appropriate people. This material is shared here under the applicable laws for fair non-commercial use. Please ask me to delete music, and I will as soon as I can. &quot;<p>How ethic and acceptable and legal is this? I find it quite unacceptable, if you want to distribute things you don&#x27;t own, at least open source them
