Hi everyone,
I have a question:
I want to setup a website to study EASA ATPL question bank (14 subjects) for users in my country (Croatia).
My plan is that customer subscribe for a small fee and access/practice through my question bank.
I have around 10000 ATPL questions on file right now. But I need to know if this is legal? Will it be copyright issue problems?
I know that there are many other website that are doing this.
I would be grateful if somebody can help me on the right direction.
Cheers,:)

Te Idea aint bad, but the problem is that EASA is updating whole the time. Taking out questions and putting in new questions. So can you keep up to that speed? That is the question.
And yes I think you can get problems with the copyrights.
There will definitely be copyright issues with EASA questions, as the director has stated that anyone using them will be pursued in the courts. The JAA questions are copyright, but the copyright currently lies with the countries that created it.
There are other websites doing it, some are free.

Paco,
You mentioned there are several websites doing this, so these website are not legal?
I can name a dussin of websites (having JAA question bank) but will not do it on prune.
It depends on what you mean by legal :)
It wouldn't be a criminal offence (in UK at least) but a civil one. In some countries, the word copy right simply means the right to copy. So, technically, they would be going against the copyright laws if they just used the questions as issued by JAA/EASA or whoever.
The PPL Confuser, for example, is a flagrant breach of copyright laws because whoever wrote it simply cut and pasted the questions as issued by the CAA. Other books ;) may have structured questions in a similar style, but without using the actual questions themselves.
