? Is it legal to sell these
That actually is better in most cases. (No pun intended)I only sell diskless packages for collectors who have disks and want to have a collectible pack.
Nothing to do with DiscsI only sell diskless packages for collectors who have disks and want to have a collectible pack.
is it possible ?Nothing to do with Discs
Copyright holders of artwork in this case is J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.
It's best to get copyright holder permission if the intent is to sell for purpose of profit
Yes you contact the copyright holder of the artwork you usedis it possible ?
Where should I correspond to this package now? Can you send me the link?Yes you contact the copyright holder of the artwork you used
You get written permission from them some may ask for a flat fee or share of profits
You can get around this by selling another item that's from a licenced distributor and giving away free the custom artwork
Where should I correspond to this package now? Can you send me the link?
Thankful. I want to start a site selling collectible packages and I don't know what to do. Can I use your experience or do you do this for me to get a percentage of your sales profit?

@Noodles @zesty
You might be of assistance here
Some copyright holders don't care in regards to Custom Fan Art products been sold without permission but some do
J.K. Rowling is one of them who does take action and has taken to court a few
She loves fans but best to get permission from her publishing company
I don't know what fees they charge or what % of profits they look for
Some might not ask for anything but just give permission.
Looks fantastic but I would advise getting permission from artwork rights holder if you planning to sell for profitThis is not just a package I mean a package of famous movies that are many. Check out this sample package now. Help me out because I have no experience
THANKS FOR ULooks fantastic but I would advise getting permission from artwork rights holder if you planning to sell for profit
If you have permission from them you be fine
Without permission you might have copyright issue when selling an item for profit.
You can as I said get around this by selling a cheap licenced product and listing the custom made item is included free
In reality the customer is paying for your custom made item but it's listed as been free with a paid licenced item
@Luxury Bluray Yeah, easiest way around it is to do as @paulboland suggested and include something that's licensed like the actual discs or a book etc... just make it clear that the custom box is included for "free".
I would ask @zesty Neil.This is the Game of Thrones collectible I designed and want to make for myself. .View attachment 448207
I don't think it's quite as simple as that, but I could be wrong.I would ask @zesty Neil.
Copyrights are interesting beasts.
As I understood it - Once you alter any image - it is no longer theirs but yours.
I don't think anybody has gone after Neil!
Look at custom Lentis on ebay. I highly doubt any of them are paying dues to the studio, or getting lawsuits.I don't think it's quite as simple as that, but I could be wrong.
A lot film studios publishing companies don't bother taking action that's why some get away with selling unlicensed products but it don't make it legal these products been sold.Look at custom Lentis on ebay. I highly doubt any of them are paying dues to the studio, or getting lawsuits.

Yeah, I don't know how some folks avoid it to be honest... I got warnings from eBay when I tried to sell my custom slips on there. Same goes for the UV codes you get with movies... they threatened to close my account for selling them (I wasn't even aware it wasn't allowed at the time), whilst hundreds of other sellers were still happily listing theirs with no issues, and still do to this day!Look at custom Lentis on ebay. I highly doubt any of them are paying dues to the studio, or getting lawsuits.
