    So nobody here rewrites plr articles and sell them as unique articles???
    If anybody is doing it I just wanted to know what problems(legal and money transfer issues) can occur selling those articles.

    Not all PLR articles come with resale rights. If you do have resale rights, you may be the clear. If they do not come with resale rights, you could get in trouble for selling a rewritten version because it's derivative of a copyrighted work. You need to refer to the rights information that came with the articles (normally you have to pay more for articles with resale rights).

    To be safe, you should just take the bare facts in the PLR article and write a new article from scratch in entirely your own words.

    Rewriting articles is a very common practise. Its not Illegal but I would say unethical. But everyone has there say on that.

    To avoid copyright issues, once you receive your article, run a check with copyscape, this will show you if any web pages have the same content as the article.

    Cheers!:)
