Some of you have asked about the difference between “Rights” on a product, typically from an Internet Marketing forum like The Warrior Forum. So, here goes…

There are 4 major types of rights, and here they are, broken down.

1. PLR: PLR means Private Label Rights. this means that you can edit the product freely and claim it as your own. Edit the text, graphics, name, etc. This also means that you can usually convert the product into another form. If it is an eBook, you can put it on a CD and sell it as a physical product, or, you can narrate it and sell it as an audio product. TIP FOR PLR: Change as much as you can to make it look more like your own product.

2. MRR: Master Resell Rights. You can sell the product AS-IS. You cannot alter it in any way. You can allow others who buy it from you to sell it and keep the money themselves (Resell Rights).

3. RR: Resell Rights. You can sell the product AS-IS, You cannot alter it in any way. Your customers have only personal rights to the product.

4. Personal Rights. You can read/watch/listen to/use the product. You CANNOT resell it at all.

Each product that you purchase (especially from the forum mentioned above) SHOULD have a rights.txt file or similar with it, outlining exactly what you can and cannot do with the product. If it does NOT have the rights.txt file, you should request it from the author.

Till next time!
