Content & Writing Tycoon

**sim8729** · 07:04 AM

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and I never heard about buying content. This is a good concept because it will make my life much easier

Sorry if my questions sound dumb lol!

My questions are:

1. I have read some of the other post about full rights. Does this mean that the article is as if I wrote it myself when I post myself or do you have to list writer's name?

2.How do you know if the content is not duplicate and if it is not at the time of purchase. How do you ensure that it won't be sold to anyone else.

3. Can the articles be copyright?

Thanks

All these questions can vary depending on where you buy your content.

1. I don't think it really matters who wrote the article... Why would you want to write your name on something you didn't write?

2. Search on google? Use a company you trust? The same problem arises when you buy code online...

3. I sure hope someone is not selling you something that is copyrighted... that would be bad.

Full rights, as I understand, means that, when you use the content, you do not need to acknowledge the original writer in any way. Otherwise, the writer may request their name or link for portfolio or other purposes.

2.How do you know if the content is not duplicate and if it is not at the time of purchase. How do you ensure that it won't be sold to anyone else.

Ensure that when you buy the content that a contract, be it emailed or otherwise, that mentions this is drawn up and signed. Take routine steps like entering the content into Google to ensure that it is the seller's to sell, and is used solely by them, or not at all. If that have entered into a contract regarding exclusivity, and then sell to another person, you could sue them, or more likely ask for them to reverse the sale, compensate you or another arrangement with the threat of legal action.

3. Can the articles be copyright?

As soon as the orignal author writes the article, they automatically hold copyright. This is either sold in full, and becomes yours, or licenced in some way - giving you full rights to use, but should there be an infringement, the orignal author would have to make the claim, but would get most of any compensation.

Thanks I just wanted some clarity from what I have been reading in other posts.

When i write an article, i put myself at the bottom of the title to show that the article was mine.

If it wasn't already copyrighted, you wouldn't be paying for it. You can prevent the author from selling it to anybody else by purchasing the copyright and not just a license. Prepare to spend many times more money for this.
