An operational plan to offer resources for free download while avoiding copyright issues and ensuring that the resources are still of high quality include scouring websites such as CreativeCommons.org and CompFight.org for resources where the copyright is either expired or allow usage with no additional fee or attribution requirement; reaching out directly to content creators to ask permission or buy a license in order to make use of their resource; investing in paid stock photography and videos if need be, and making sure not to over-use similar looking images within one project; hiring qualified writers, editors, proofreaders, designers who work together with shared files rather than stock assets; utilizing subscription sites that have high quality contents without breaching any copyright laws.  Utilizing open source software when possible as well.

One option would be to partner with organizations that specialize in content royalty management. If these organizations find that a resource is being shared without explicit permission from the copyright holder, they can send takedown notices and make sure the resource isn't available for downloading any longer. This can limit your liability with copyrights while still enabling people to access free resources. Alternatively, ensure that each resource contains detailed licensing information detailing how it may be used or where additional information on usage is available.
