Why is selling samples illegal




















Still building the computers. Just got done talking with the buyer of my auction and he wont bea able to pay till the end of the month. The auction clearly stated 3 days. Anyways I posted it for sale on these forums if still interested. Joined Jun 26, Messages 12, The only way it would be a crime is if selling it violated a contract.

Selling the processor would mean that you are selling stolen goods. Intel, however, is not interested in prosecuting you for this. They are much more interested in finding out how the processor was stolen from them Trust me, I have had firsthand experience with this.

Joined Feb 9, Messages 58, Intel Engineering samples are marked confidential. There is a NDA that usually goes with them, to the original owner anyway. Under that agreement it is technically Illegal. Intel is really big on the whole confidential thing.

They are not supposed to be resold. Of course that's not the way it really works as we all know. Phonic Limp Gawd. Joined Apr 15, Messages The guy who advised you doesn't sell CPUs too by any chance does he?

Joined Jan 27, Messages I work for a semiconductor company also and know for a fact the Intel is supplying processors to their employees for their own personal use. So yes that person is taking a risk selling it and they have the potential to lose their job and Intel wouldn't need a lawyer to do it Again that was given to them for their own personal use and not to supplement their income.

For example, in case of food products, individual packs may not contain information like ingredients, nutritional value, expiry date, and bar code. However, I know that hardly anybody sells food products on eBay. Not for Resale items can be sold only as used items on eBay. I believe that if you want to stay on eBay, you should not hide the fact that you are selling NFR items. Otherwise, buyers may leave neutral or negative feedback for you, which may affect your business.

Can I sell them? I think if you mention in the product description that the cosmetic basket is a Not for Sale item, there should not be any problem. Once you have received the free sample, it belongs to you and you can sell it. However, if you are a distributor or retailer of a certain brand and instead of distributing its samples for free, you sell them then, it is a case of malpractice. I would also like to caution you that in case you buy a multi pack of some cosmetic product and then sell its individual packs for gains, it might be illegal.

If you have not, for retail sale or not for resale items, instead of selling them on the Internet, you should sell such products to your family, friends and colleagues offline. But make sure that you should sell them at below market rates. For example, one judge ruled that any musical sampling violated the sound recording copyright. You can use the above arguments to defend yourself against a lawsuit for sampling without permission. The problem: You will not know for sure which way the judge will rule.

And, most likely you will have to hire an attorney to represent you in court. You are always on safer legal ground if you obtain permission, especially if you have a record contract that puts the burden of sample clearance on your shoulders. Such contracts usually contain an indemnity clause—which means that if you and the record company are sued, you must pay the record company's legal costs.

Unfortunately, there is an extra wrinkle if you use a sample for purposes of selling or endorsing a product for example in a Volkswagen ad , and the sampled artist is identifiable. In cases like this, you also need to get the source artist's consent.

That's because the ad may create the impression of an endorsement. Without the consent, the source artist could sue for what is known as the violation of the " right of publicity.

So when you use a sample for an advertising agency or other commercial client, be aware that a third type of clearance or "release" may be necessary. Nowadays, there are significant roadblocks for small independent labels who want to acquire sample clearance. For example:. Many small labels cannot afford the steep sample clearance rates.

While there are no standard fees, the music publisher usually require:. Sometimes, instead of a rollover, the owner of the master will ask for a portion of future record royalties although sampling consultants advise against this practice. Sample CDs or digital albums, recordings that contain sounds and riffs specifically sold to be used in samplers, can be a helpful alternative for small labels that lack significant financial resources.

Most sample discs are "pre-cleared," which means that by buying the disc, you are automatically granted permission to use the music without paying any further fees. However, the permitted use of pre-cleared samples may vary from one disc to another. Do not assume you can use the sample in whatever way you like.

Review the documentation that comes with the CD for any license information. Most sample disc makers grant the user a "nonexclusive license" to use the samples, which means you, and everyone else, have permission to use the music.

However, with a sample CD you do not buy the right to redistribute the samples, only the right to use them in musical works. If it appears that your purchase of the disc does not grant the rights you need, contact the soundware manufacturer. Remember Me?
