    Sell music with oscommerce or other

    I'm looking for a solution to sell music online (not to sell CD, but mp3
    directly with download after payment ).

    Is there a open source e-commerce solution ?

    with OSCommerce ?

    TIA

      Do one need to have a permission to do it? Do you know how does one
      need to pay taxes?

        If you don't own the music, then you can't sell it. If you do, you are
        committing a copyright violation. If you're doing it in the US, you can
        expect the RIAA to come after you with a VERY large lawsuit, and possibly
        even criminal prosecution. I don't know about other countries.

        If you own the music, (I don't mean you bought a CD - I mean you wrote it),
        then you can sell all you want. Otherwise, you will need to obtain
        permission from those who own the copyright. Even if they're friends of
        yours, you should get contracts permitting the resale.

        If you are running a business, then you will need to pay the appropriate
        taxes, which vary by location.

        I would strongly suggest checking with your local Chamber of Commerce or an
        attorney if you are planning this - those are fairly basic questions to be
        asking, and you should get a good foundation and understand what you're
        getting into before you put a lot of work into something.

          I think osCommerce can do exactly this.
