Does anyone have suggestions for determining if a seller actually owns the PLR content that they are offering + Master Resale Rights? I purchased a PLR package + Master Resale Rights off Digital Point and included it in a package that I was selling. Now someone is charging me with having stolen articles from a membership site. With all the cheapo "Master Resale Rights" packages going around, how can one tell which are legit and which ones might have been fabricated (perhaps someone purchased the package and just pretended to have Master Resale Rights to the package).
Escrow seems like the best option here. But that in-and-of itself can still be difficult to verify. Make sure you get the legal identifcation of the company you are buying from as well as sworn documents from the registered officers in the company. Perhaps a lawyer can give you some better and more detailed advice.
I did not feel I could rely on the reputation of the person who sold me the original PLR package with Master Resale rights. Therefore I bought another PLR article product that I could find sold by 2 or 3 different people with Master Resale Rights. It appeared to be almost the same content, but frankly my original seller had it better organized (in my opinion.) After MUCH cut-and-pasting, I determined that approximately 1800 of the original 1900+ files I had purchased had come from this very widely-sold package. So I trimmed my own PLR package that I was offering as a bonus to my eReport, How to Turn Chicken Shit (PLR) into Chicken Salad (Something People Want to Consume) to those files that I could verify originated from the widely-sold offering. I guess my feeling is before buying, ask the seller where they purchased the Master Resale Rights or if they are the creator of the material. If you still have doubts, hold out and buy a package that you can see is widely sold. I do not believe a rightful owner would allow multiple people to publicly profit by pretending to own Master Resale Rights. Ebay Sellers in particular will be out of business quickly if they violate copyright policies. I hope this helps anyone else who deals with this issue.
