Is it permissible to profit from uploading video files containing natural scenery and Quranic recitations instead of musical instruments, knowing that these files are free and available for download from the internet, and may be protected by copyright, through a website that pays a certain amount of money for a specific number of downloads?
It is permissible for you to download allowed files from the mentioned website and to charge a fee for them if they are beneficial and permissible, as this falls under the category of ju'alah (stipulated reward/commission). As for files whose owners do not permit their download and disposal, it is not permissible for you to download them.
