Can I Legally Sell Homemade Videos?

[Guest The Hitman Returns]

Just wondering if it is legal to sell copys of old wwf and wcw shows off of TV? If is is illegal, what if I say they are buying the tape and not what is recorded on it.

 

I have every wcw and wwe show on tape since late 1998 and was thinking of selling them on ebay.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Technically, I don't think so . . . but I've seen people auction off a pen. If you win the pen, you also get 20 SNMEs for FREE!!! I don't know how that all turned out though. I highly doubt anything bad will happen to you either way.

Nothing happens, hundreds of people sell masters and copyies of shows of ebay, and nothing happenes to them.

I do believe it is legal to sell TELEVISION shows.

No, it is not.

Anything that was dubbed or created by you cannot be sold legally on eBay or anywhere else, for that matter. A lot of sellers on eBay do this and are lucky because they get away with it, but others get caught, have their auctions closed, or eventually get suspended. I get tired of seeing all of these bootlegs clogging up eBay, anyway, do us a favor and don't do it.

Just say you are paying for the shipping, the blank tape and the effort you put into taping them. The show is free.

Thats pretty much $7 right there.

 

Factor in time and labor put into it and te wearing out of the VCR, and thats the entire $15 per tape most sites sell for.

You can't do that, either. Even if it's just a "free" blank tape that just happens to have wrestling on it, it's illegal. Same goes if you're offering a pencil and a wrestling tape just so happens to be included if you win. Trying and work around the system isn't worth the effort, unless you don't mind being kicked off of eBay.

Bruiser is right, I had an auction pulled a few hours before it closed. E-Bay threatened to pull my account if they caught me again. Apparently WWE has a search engine they use, once they find something they immediately notify E-Bay

WWE's response: But we can if we want to.

Some mixtape sites say "Buy the cover art for 6.99 and get the cd free" or "Buy our sticker for 7 dollars and get these tracks on a cd for free" cause mixtapes are illegal technically, but the DJ's don't get in trouble.
