Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Florida

Internet Music Downloads

A website offers a search engine that scours open directories on the internet for music files, similar to the way Google would search for information. It provides a list of music files matching your search, with the option to download the song from its respective location, with disclaimers explaining the search engine has no way of determining the copyright of the files made available. Is it legal to charge a monthly fee for this search service?
