Questions regarding web hosting

I'm about to purchase a shared web hosting plan at dreamhost but I have a few questions before I do.

  1. Since I live in Sweden and gonna register a domain in the U.S I don't really know the laws regarding web hosting. Is it legally right to upload poster and cover art images for movies, music and other media? Shouldn't most companies see this as a positive thing? If someone owning one of these images would say that I must remove them, I would of course.

  2. I don't have any experience using Dreamhost so I'm gonna try it out and see if I'm happy with it I keep it and if I'm not I can get my money back if I cancel in 97 days. Does anyone have any experience with Dreamhost, if so, what did you think?

  3. If I would cancel my account, do I still own the domain?

    Found this on their wiki:

If you choose to cancel your account, we will disable your account with DreamHost, yet you will retain ownership of any domain names that you have purchased. If, in the future, you would like to have your domain point to a different web host (say it ain't so!) you will be able to log in to the Account Control Panel, and make your change there.

  1. The content I upload, do I or Dreamhost own it?

Don't know if webmasters is the correct Stackexchange site to ask this question so feel free to move it.
