It's
the influx of PLR websites and videos promoting private label rights
hustling that are part of the proliferation of copyright
offenders at selling sites. Most listing venues
only allow works/content authored by the members. The question is are
PLR ebooks, which are purchased or otherwise acquired
by sellers who may consider them to be drafts or outlines and who add
to or rewrite them, considered to be their own work?
The
main attractions of using private label rights ebooks seem to be the increased volume that can be
produced and the variety of subject matter to expand into. A person can
also publish in an area or genre of which he/she has very little, if
any, expertise. That is not an issue, however, the way that some are
utilizing this concept is.
Unfortunately,
many aspiring writers and sellers are using the PLR concept, either
unintentionally or on purpose, to steal the copyrighted works of others.
They remove the authors names from the images that they use. Sometimes
they even edit the book cover images, placing an obscuring banner, with
their own name on it, to hide the rightful author's name.
I
believe that there are those who really don't understand the private label rights meaning. However, if a
person has not contributed to copyrighted, published works and has
replaced authors names with their own, it is difficult to believe that
they don't understand that they are stealing and attempting to profit
illegally through the works of others.
