Suppose you have your own website. Is it okay for you to upload and share copyrighted music on your site without asking permission from the songwriter? Why or why not? Explain your reasoning.

No, because you do not know whether or not the person is okay with it. Uploading and sharing copyrighted music on your site may be seen as stealing and you could get reported. So it's always best if you ask permission from the songwriter.

I hope this helps :)

No, you can still get sued even if it's your own site. You must ask permission and/or give credit to the original owner
