REGARDING RECORDABLE MEDIA

Due to a recent incident, we would like to clarify a few issues regarding the sale of material In recordable media format (ie. material sold on CDR or DVDR)

LEGALLY

Firstly, regarding the law, it in NOT illegal to sell material on CDR / DVDR (or a “copy” as many would call it)

It IS illegal to sell UNAUTHORISED copies or copies which infringe a copyright (ie copying a film onto DVD and selling it on or selling copies of an album).

The material we sell are legal, authorised copies.

EBAY POLICY

Ebay policy prohibits the sale material on recordable media, unless the media is either in the public domain, or the seller owns the copyright.

Below, we have listed how our products are sourced. These methods fall in with Ebay policy guidelines.

OUR PRODUCTS

We do sell many items which are sold on recordable media. This material is sourced in one of the following ways:

OUR OWN WORK – the product has been designed by us, therefore giving us the right to sell copies as we please. In order to continue to provide our customers with original products, we tare trying to keep as much as possible in this category.

RESELL RIGHTS – a product with resell rights is an item which has been specifically designed for the purpose of copying and reselling. We have been granted full resell rights by the creator of the cd.  We do stock a large number of these type of products.

Most of the items we have on sale fall into the first 2 categories. However, we do have some of the following:

ROYALTY FREE – similar to a product with resell rights. Basically the contents of the cd may be used without paying any royalties to the creator.

PUBLIC DOMAIN – information which is in the public domain is copyright free, and is free for anybody to use as they wish. As a general rule, if we decide to use public domain material, we will usually be packaging it with other items in order to offer better value.

EXPIRED COPYRIGHT – if a copyright expires, the material falls into the public domain.

PRESENTATION OF OUR PRODUCTS

Just because an item is in CDR or DVDR format, does not mean you will receive an orange disk with branding all over it, and a small handwritten label!!!! We ensure that all of our products are as attractive and professional looking as possible

We use plain white, printable madia to supply our products, and we print the face of each CD with appropriate graphics . Photos of each item are shown in each auction description.

RESELL RIGHTS

Please do not assume that YOU automatically have permission to copy and re-sell products purchased from us. We DO NOT offer resell rights on products designed by ourselves. Additionally, many items don't have master resell rights, which means that while we have permission to reproduce and sell them, we are not allowed to sell them as having resell rights (ie people who buy from us cannot resell). In other cases, we have purchased the right to sell an item, and unless you do likewise, you don't have permission. 

We do not advertise ANY items as having resell rights, even the ones where we have master resell rights), and we will NOT  provide any form of written "proof" to allow others to sell these items. Additional, we will take action against anybody found to be copying our listings, store pages, pictures or any other content, or linking to our pictures.

We hope this clarifies our position. We are in the process of adding details to each individual auction, but as I'm sure you will appreciate this does take time. Please bear with us.
