Welcome
Thanks for stopping by.Why Was Your Auction Removed?
If you have received a notification from eBay that you must withdraw your product from auction and WARNER MUSIC GROUP is referenced in the notice, it is because we believe the items you are auctioning infringe the rights of our clients. You may not realize this, but it is not legal to sell or (even re-sell) unauthorized music that has not been properly licensed from the artist(s) or the appropriate record company.Our clients, listed below, have requested that we notify (through eBay's VeRO Plus program) those folks at eBay who are infringing their rights:
- Atlantic Records Group (Bad Boy Records, Elektra Records and Lava Records are now a part of Atlantic Records Group)
- Asylum Records
- East West
- Roadrunner Records
- Rhino Entertainment
- Rykodisc
- Maverick Recording Company
- Nonesuch Records, a division of Warner Communications Inc.,
- Wildstar
- Word Entertainment
- Warner Bros. Records, Inc.
- Warner Music Latina Inc.
- Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.
- Warner Music Group
Here are some pointers that may help you in the future:
(1) If the packaging looks unprofessional (perhaps a color photocopy), chances are it's not legal.
(2) CD-Rs and mp3 files ripped from various Internet web and ftp sites (this includes the apcfiles on IRC) are definitely a big no no.
(3) Often times a bootleg will include live performances, rehearsals, outtakes and the record label will not seem official.
If you know the artist is signed to Warner Bros. Records, Inc., for instance, and the label information on the package says otherwise: it's most likely a bootleg. Thanks for your cooperation. Bootlegs have an adverse effect on not only the record labels, but also the artists whose rights are infringed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ADVANCE CDs: Generally, selling or distributing sound recordings before the official release date is prohibitied by the record company releasing the album. If you are unsure whether an item is authorized for sale, please contact the appropriate label.
UNAUTHORIZED RELEASES: A good number of Bootleg and Pirate recordings are factory pressed (non CD-R) and may appear to be legitimate releases. Many of these recordings are billed as "rare" or "imports" and originate from outside the United States.
If you are confused about what is and is not a bootleg, search on the Internet [using any number of excellent search engines, like google.com]. You will find that there are many collector's sites that can clarify for you if your product is a bootleg, a pirate, a counterfeit or if it is authorized by the record company.
An excellent resource for identifying legal music product is All Music Guide www.allmusicguide.com.
