Oh, I'll just... Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! So, guys, that is it. I hope you guys have a fantastic day. In today's video, we're going to be discussing kind of like the legalities and whether or not you can, you know, sell, copy, right, and trademarked, you know, replica items, you know, Shopify drop shipping, right? Because as most of you know, if you guys have, you know, browse alley express, take a look around. Often times you can find products that look very, very similar to certain goods that exist. Okay? Now, I'm going to be making that as you know, there are very popular name brand products. For example, like luxury goods, like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, stuff like that. All the express suppliers will often list products that almost, you know, are exact replicas or very, very similar to those kind of goods, right? Obviously, you know, there is a big market for people, you know, buying knockoffs, buying replicas, buying fake items. But unfortunately for sellers, right, the people that get in trouble are the people selling the actual knockoffs and replicas and copyrighted, trademarked, copyrighted items, right? So basically, right, the short answer is no, you cannot sell copyrighted stuff. But there's nothing really stopping you until you get caught, okay? So what I'm trying to say is like, you guys shouldn't do that because you do run the risk of getting sued and losing everything you've earned and then some attorney's fees, everything else like that. Everything regarding the lawsuit essentially. But basically, guys, like you shouldn't be selling copyrighted stuff. I do know people who have and they've made money doing so. I mean, guys, that you run the potential of getting sued entirely illegal. Most of the times, just from what I know and from what I've heard from other people that have sold those kind of items, is if they do get caught, the, you know, the company that has like that owns the actual rights to that product, we usually send a cease-indicist so a C&D and essentially what that is is it's telling someone, hey, you did something illegal, okay? If you don't stop doing this, we have the, basically, the right and the ability and the capability to take you to court and sue you because you're either, you know, you're taking their own money. Like, Gucci, for example, they invest a lot of money into building their brand. Like, therefore, they are the ones that are selling, you know, their own merchandise. They don't want someone, you know, some random store owner piggybacking off of like their own hard earned like brand that took millions and millions of dollars to kind of get to the point where it is, right? So that's the, like, the gist of is like, no, you can't sell copyrighted items legally. I do know, again, there are people that do this illegally and basically like their mentality, right, is, oh, I'll just sell this until I get caught or until they send me a cease-indicist and then I'll stop. Usually, that's what happens in most cases. Not many times will they actually take you to court. Again, guys, this is different for every single one. Like, do not take this as like legal advice because I am not a lawyer, but I do know a bit about, you know, like, about this stuff because I've looked into this before because it is a hot market, guys. Like, especially if you're looking at trendy items, looking at, you know, trendy things. Like, for example, I don't know if you guys have seen, if you guys like, you know, our Instagram a lot, browsing, you know, fashion products and whatnot. Because again, my industry, like, I love fashion selling that kind of stuff. But there were, you know, knockoff cases that were selling, you know, a lot. And they were trendy because people, you know, don't mind and say, like, there's a whole market for buying, you know, knockoffs and stuff like replicas and everything. And there's a market for that, right? But the suppliers, the one that ultimately gets in trouble, the seller basically, because again, guys, how it works right is the copyrighted items that you're selling, like, they're copyrighted under like United States government basically, right? I don't even express, and suppliers are located in China. They really don't care nor do they even like enforce copyrighted laws. So for example, if you were selling, you know, a Gucci knockoff case and Gucci contacted you with a cease and a cease selling, you know, hey, we're going to sue you because you're doing something illegal. And we have the right to, right? Then most people, like, most like, like, unexperienced store owners will like, they'll reply to them and say, hey, I didn't know that. I was just taking a product off of this website and selling it, right? But they don't care about that. They can't enforce rules in China, okay? Like, no, they have much power there. Like, they don't, right? But you're the one that's taking a product from overseas and selling it to people, you know, in the United States. And that's where you can kind of get in trouble. And that's where they do have basically kind of like control over, over, over you and what you're selling essentially. So that's again, guys, like, basically a super short, you know, like, hey, you really just can't do it legally. Again, if you are going to, if you already do, be very careful because again, it is illegal, you can get sued. Most of the time, guys, they will just send you a cease and desist, which means you just have to stop because it's illegal or they have the right to pursue you in court for everything that you've made. So that is something to be aware of, guys. And then just talking about copyrighted stuff anyways, I do want to remember the fact that, you know, a lot of you guys, because you know, I preach content, like, content is king. If you have good content, you can literally, you can convert so much easier. And you guys will see that in the zero to one K challenge, by the way. Join the way, let's see if you aren't there. It's free. But that was my plug. But, ah, shoot, where was I? This is what happens, guys. It is literally five, five, twenty in the morning, guys. So good morning to you. But oh, yeah, talking about other copyrighted stuff, right? And content and everything. For those of you that, you know, aren't able to get good content or, you know, feel like, hey, I'm not good behind a camera, taking pictures, doing whatever and you are using pictures off of Google and whatnot. Also be careful of that. Photographers often copy, right? Their images. If, you know, again, a photographer can simply reverse image search their image and see what websites are using it. And if they do see your website, they have, you know, the right to sue you over that for using their image that they took and you are using without their permission. Um, anything else, what I've also noticed to be wary of as well is, you know, the bigger companies like Gucci and whatnot, like, they're so big that usually most of the time, like, people selling replicas and stuff, like, don't usually get caught because they're so big. But if you are taking, you know, a photographer is image that necessarily isn't, you know, doesn't have the biggest brand and isn't as out there. If he finds out that you're doing that, most of the time these smaller people will try and, like, pursue you basically, like, they'll try and go after you, okay? So that's something to be aware of guys. If you do need to get content for your site and you don't want to make sure, like, you want to make sure it's not copyright free. Again, you can always search up stock images, Adobe, for example, Adobe has a great stock image program. Basically, you can browse a bunch of photos that you're allowed to use commercially or you can just simply go and Google, go to image search search for what you want. And then in the filters, you can actually do, you know, an advanced search and basically search only images that are available for commercial use, which means that you're able to, you know, sell things along those images, right? So that's that, guys, again, this is the kind of video just about copyright in general, I guess, and just be safe out there, guys. Don't do anything illegal to avoid a cease and desist.
