Master Resell Rights
If you purchase a product with Master
Resell Rights (MRR) this means you are allowed to sell the product and also
you are allowed to sell the rights to allow your purchasers to to sell the
product and the master resell rights.
This means that whoever you sell the
product to is allowed to sell it along with all the rights for their
customers to resell and pass on the rights. Whoever buys a product with
master resell rights may resell the product along with the rights to it.
This does not mean you can alter the
product in any shape or form or that you can give it away.
Read Carefully all
the rights that have been bestowed on you, as there are often restrictions
as to the selling price or where you can sell it. There are a lot of these
products that can
not
be sold on auction sites for
example. Some can not be used in paid member sites and very few are allowed
in free member sites.
The reasons for these restrictions
are to keep the product with a good value. If they are appearing on free
member sites or auction sites then they are very quickly devalued and
consequently no one is able to make much money. If a product is of good
value and useful to you then make sure you follow the authors wishes with
regard to the way you dispose of the product.
Resell Rights
If you purchase a product with
resell rights (RR) then you are allowed to sell that product, but, you are
not allowed to sell the rights to the product. Your customers can use it for
their own purpose only.
These products also carry restrictions as to where you
can sell them.
Again
Read Carefully
any instructions as to where or how you can dispose of the product. These
instructions are for your benefit as well as the benefit
of others.
Giveaway Rights
If you obtain a product with giveaway
rights then you can give it away. These products are useful in helping you
build your list and in some cases, where you can put your own affiliate
links, they are very good for using in viral marketing.
Again read the instructions that you
received with the product.
Private Label Rights
These are one of the most valuable
products to own, providing you are willing to do some work and rewrite or
rework the
articles.
There are generally two types of PLR.
There is unrestricted private label
rights which literally means you can do anything you like with the item and
in some cases this even includes claiming copyright to the item. If you get full unrestricted rights to
the product you can do with it as you wish.
Then there are restricted private label
rights where there are one or more restrictions about what you can do with
the raw items. This sometimes includes not being able to sell them without
modifying or changing then in some way.
Once again read the instructions that
come with the product.
General
You will either receive a rights file
with the product, or, you will find in the product, (usually in the first
couple of pages), the rights that have been bestowed on you. Please for the
sake of everyone follow the rules. The legal implications for breaking these
rules can cause extreme financial hardship. If you are in any doubt of your
rights after reading them I would suggest you contact the author/copyright
holder before you proceed any further.
