Hi,
We run a small bussiness selling football collectables. The Sporting body contacted us yesterday about removing our second hand dvd's and videos we had in stock as it was a copyright breach. He also told us he was sending our website link around to other departments of the nrl to check that we are able to sell products.
We have removed the dvds page. We have been buying the cards from the distributor for a few years now so they shouldnt be a problem. I am wondering what the rules are about magzines whether you are allowed by the book to sell these.
I feel a little hard done by as you go to any second hand book store and you will see a shelf of second hand videos and dvds for sale. I am sure these dont have a special licence.
Just thought I would throw it out there, this forum has a broad range knowledge base. Has anyone had a similar problem before?
I did try and call the two major magazine companies but it was close to business hours closing.
The sporting body did also ask if we would like to stock their official range of dvds.
It is a bit scary if they try and shut us down.
We had a problem with them a few years ago because we had official logos in our website. We found them very hard to deal as they never returned our calls and we were threatened with legal action. There would be no way to fight them as we couldn't maintain court costs.
