I've been kind of interested in e-commerce and I've looked around at all the different sites offering 'packages' or 'programs' on how to make a living online. Aren't all these sites breaking the shit out of laws or am I just retarded? Like .... 1) All the sites that have false testimonials (clearly false because they have freaking stock images beside them, which breaks the stock image licence as well) 2) Sites like 'Mark Warren's Ultimate Wealth Package' , which is down now by the way, that has a stock picture of Mark Warren. WTF? Isn't that fraud? Especially since they built up this fake background for the guy. 3) All these sites like adsense-secrets.com ? Is it legal to be profiting off the trademark of companies like ebay and google and such? 4) The review sites that actually talk about what's mentioned inside other people's programs. I'm not talking about the review sites that are just affiliate review sites, I'm talking about the ones that actually bash them. I'm not sure if that one's illegal though. 5) Also what about all the packages that have the image of 'their package' that includes like 8 cds and 6 books or whatever when really it's like a 20 page ebook. Isn't that wrong because the image doesn't actually represent the product? I'm not sure about 3, 4, and 5 but where is the line on all this? To have a package that has a fake creator with a fake background with fake testimonials? Isn't that breaking like 3 laws? How are these sites not all shut down? Is it really all legal?
Not sure about the other 3 - but I have one site with genuine testimonials that has stock images of businesspeople on the page, and I'm pretty certain it's within the stock photography license and legal.
Well that's right but I just mean that if you have stock photos and depict the people in the image as approving something you're selling or whatever it breaks the licence.
