The issue here is if you are handling the hosting of these sites, you are the one to get and handle the DMCA mail when (and it's an inevitable when) your customers do something that runs afoul of the contemporary copyright process.
Might want to approach it instead as a consulting service that helps folks set it up on hosting that they are responsible for and have their names on.

- hedora 6y agoNo idea. That’s why I’m suggesting someone offer a service with lawyers to answer these questions. :-)
