The copyright holders details should be on the DVD or disc itself, It's usually the big boys like Sony etc that hold them. If you decide not to go through them, it will be them taking you to court

Definitely do ask the copyright owners before you try to do this, that way you have a definite answer one way or another. And if they don't answer, at least you asked first!

I prefer to get licenses if needed, because I want to build really big movies website.

How can I get licenses?
