My resource website offers free downloads to users, but I'm worried about potential copyright infringement and other legal risks. What operational plans should I adopt so that my resource website can offer free downloads safely?

To offer free downloads from your resource website safely, you should include clear copyright notices on each page with downloadable content and take steps to identify users through an account system and require them to accept an online terms of service agreement. Furthermore, you should also use digital rights management (DRM) software or technology to prevent unauthorized use or distribution of your protected content. Additionally, you could also partner with digital content aggregators that already have in place systems in place to manage intellectual property rights.

If you want to make sure your resource website is offering free downloads safely, you should put together a set of operational plans.

Firstly, ensure that the content you are making available for free downloads is actually protected by copyright - do a brief search online or speak to a lawyer if you’re unsure.
Secondly, clearly state in an “Terms of Use” policy on your website that downloading or using content from your site is permitted only for non-commercial, educational and personal use; otherwise face prosecution under Copyright laws. Furthermore clarify the consequences if users disregard these policies and take appropriate legal action when violation happens. For instance report offenders to their respective Internet Service Provider when violation includes file sharing over P2P networks such as Bit Torrent; have takedown notices sent where applicable or provide details of how rights holders can contact you directly if they wish to pursue claims relating to any usage on the site itself.
Thirdly design clear procedures where user data is stored securely and back up regularl data dumps - which could be useful in proving legitimacy should there be an accusation against it later on  e also design mechanisms so that users are not able to distribute files via third party websites without requiring authentication via payment / registration  .Finally implement technological protections such as digital watermarks and DRM (Drm).
