Hi, I build lenses and then sell them for $10 or less. These lenses are based off a popular product selling at Amazon. I use a fair amount of the information on Amazon product page (say PSP 3000) and add it too the lens. I then add reviews, pictures, movies reviews, and other information about the product. Finally, I add Amazon affiliate links that link back to the page I got most of the information from. Can anyway tell me if this is indeed stealing, even though I am pointing the lens back to the place I got the information from? Thanks
Does no one know the answer to this? I'm sure at some point or another we are all guilty of some form of information borrowing. I mean, we didn't all meet Jesus, step on the moon, or do a million other things so where did we get the information from? Is that stealing too? Any help in this area would be great. I tried contacting Amazon directly by phone but the rep couldn't answer, said I had to contact the legal department by snail mail.
Even though you supposedly make $30,000/month with Amazon, (yet you sell Squidoo sites for $10) and had to blast my excitement and others congratulations of my biggest month yet, I'll answer your question, kind of. Many "Create an Amazon Ecommerce Store" scripts pull directly from Amazon, including pictures, titles, prices, reviews, product information, etc. All of this information is available in the feed for developers. But, if they make it available for people to use, in their scripts, on the web or off, then it must be okay for affiliate members to use. Ultimately you need to check with your lawyer (you make 30k/month, you should have a lawyer)....
Are you using just the information from Amazon? or are you using reviews and such from a completely different website as well? If you are using the Amazon content seems as noted above it would be fine, I pull a lot of the amazon information when building sites via AOM. On a side note I would be interested in buying Squidoo lenses if they look good.
