guys that is your hope you guys are
having a fantastic day in today's video
we're gonna be discussing kind of like
the legalities and whether or not you
can you know sell copy righted
trademarked you know replica items you
know shop if I drop something right
because as most do you know if you guys
have you know browse Aliexpress taking a
look around oftentimes you can find
products that look very similar to
certain goods that exist okay now
remember that is you know there there
are very popular name-brand products for
example I like luxury goods like gucci
louis vuitton stuff like that i'll the
express suppliers will often list
products that almost you know are exact
replicas or very very similar to those
those those kind of goods right and
obviously you know there is a big market
for people you know buying knockoffs
buying replicas buying fake items but
unfortunately for sellers right the the
people that get in trouble are the
people selling the actual knockoffs and
replicas and copyright and trademark
copyrighted items right so basically
right the short answer is no you cannot
sell copyrighted stuff if but there's
nothing really stopping you until you
get caught okay so what i'm trying to
say is like you guys shouldn't do that
because you do run the risk of getting
sued and losing everything you've earned
and then some attorneys fees everything
else like that
everything regarding the lawsuit
essentially but basically guys like you
you shouldn't be selling copyrighted
stuff
i do know people who have and they've
made you know money doing so many guys
that you know you run the potential of
getting sued it's highly illegal most of
the times there's from what i know from
what i've heard from from other people
that have sold those kind of items is if
they do get caught the you know the the
company that has like that owns the
actual rights to that product will
usually send a cease and desist so a CD
and essentially what that is is it's
telling someone hey you did something
illegal okay if you don't stop doing
this we have the basically the right and
the ability and the capability to take
you to court and sue you because you're
either you know you're you're taking
their own money
like Gucci for example they invest a lot
of money into building their brand like
therefore they are the ones that are
selling you know their own merchandise
they don't want someone you know some
some random store owner piggybacking off
of like their own hard-earned like brand
that took millions and millions of
dollars to kind of get to the point
where it is right so that's the like the
gist of is like no you can't sell no
copyrighted items legally I do know
again there are people that do this
illegally and basically like their
mentality right is oh I'll just sell
this until I get caught or until they
send me a cease and desist and then I'll
stop usually that's that's what happens
in most cases not many times what they
actually take you to court again guys
this is different for every single one
like do not take this as like legal
advice because I am NOT a lawyer but I
do know a bit about you know like about
this stuff because I've looked into this
before because it is a hot market guys
like especially if you're looking at
trendy items looking at you know trendy
things like for example I don't think
eyes have seen if you guys like me on
Instagram a lot browsing you know
fashion products and whatnot because
again my industry like I love fashion
selling that kind of stuff
but there were you know knockoff like
cases that were selling and selling you
know a lot and they were trendy because
people you know don't mind as to say
like there's a whole market for buying
you know knockoffs and stuff like
replicas and everything and there's a
market for that right but the supplier
is the one that ultimate gets in trouble
the seller basically because again guys
how it works right is the copyrighted
items that you're selling like their
copyrighted under like United States
government basically right Aliexpress
and supplies are located in China they
really don't care nor nor do they even
like enforce copyrighted laws so for
example if you were selling you know a
Gucci knockoff case and Gucci contact
you with a cease and desist selling you
know hey we're gonna sue you because
you're doing something illegal and we
have the right to right then
most people like most like an
experienced store owners Bowl like
they'll reply them and say hey I didn't
know that I was just taking a product
off of this website and selling it right
but they don't care about that
they can't enforce rules in China okay
like nor do they have much power there
like they like that they don't right but
you're the one that's taking a product
from overseas and selling it to people
you know in the United States and that's
where you can kind of get
get in trouble and that's where they do
have basically kind of like a control
over over over you and what what you're
selling essentially so that's again guys
like a basically a super short you know
like hey you really just can't do it
legally again if you are going to if you
already do be very careful because again
it is illegal you can get sued but most
of the time guys they will just send you
a cease and desist which means you just
have to stop because it's illegal or
they have the right to pursue you in
court for everything that you've made so
that that is something to be aware of
guys and then just talking about
copyrighted stuff anyways I do want the
fact that you know a lot of you guys
because you know I preach content like
content is king if you have a good
content you can literally you can
convert so much easier and you guys will
see that in the zero to one cake
challenge by the way join the waitlist
if you aren't there is free uh-huh but
that allows my plug um but ah shoot
where was I this is what happens guys it
is literally five 5:20 in the morning
guys so good morning to you but oh yeah
talking about other copyright stuff
right and content everything for those
of you that you know aren't able to get
good content or you know feel like yeah
I'm not good behind a kind a camera
taking pictures doing whatever and you
are using pictures off of Google and
whatnot um also be careful that
photographers often copyright their
images if you know again a photographer
can simply reverse image search their
image and see what websites are using it
and if they do see your website they
have you know the right to sue you over
that for using their image that they
took and you are using without their
permission anything as what I've also
noticed to be wary of as well is you
know the bigger companies like Gucci
might not like they're so big that
usually most of the time like people
selling replicas and stuff like don't
usually get caught because they're so
big but if you are taking you know a
photographer's image that necessarily
isn't you know doesn't have the biggest
brand and isn't as out there if he finds
out that you're doing that most of the
time these smaller people will try and
like pursue you basically like they'll
try and go after you okay so that's
something to be aware of guys if you do
need to get content for your site and
you don't want to make sure like you
want to make sure it's not very free
again you can always just search up
stock images Adobe for example Adobe has
a great stock image program basically
that's you can browse a bunch of photos
that you're allowed to use commercially
or you can just simply go in Google go
to image search search for what you want
and then in the filters you can actually
do you know an advanced search and
basically search only images that are
available for commercial use which means
that you're able to you know sell things
along those images right so that's that
guys again this is the kind of video
just about copyright in general I guess
and just be safe out there guys don't do
anything illegal
to avoid a cease-and-desist and I'll see
