The sale of a copyright results in an "assignment" of the intellectual property rights embodied in the copyright, not to mention the power to enforce those rights. This may vary, depending upon what country you're in, the type of material copyrighted (literature, sound recordings, sculpture, etc), and depending upon how old the material is, whether you are aware of any pre-existing infringements, whether the copyright is already registered, if there are any joint owners, whether it is a "work for hire," etc.
Because of the potential complexities involved, it may be wise to seek competent legal counsel. An intellectual property attorney will help you explore the value of your rights, various alternatives to "sale," such as exclusive or non-exclusive licenses, and assist in preparing the necessary papers to carry out your informed wishes.

∙ 14y agoYes as long as you are only selling items that you have legally purchased. your right to do so is protected as the "right of 1st sale". However if you are asking about selling copies of a protected work then no you would be guilty of infringing the holder's right to control duplication and distribution of their work

∙ 14y agoDeliberately bypassing technology put in place to protect copyrighted material is illegal under terms of Section 1201 (Circumvention of copyright protection systems) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
"(a) VIOLATIONS REGARDING CIRCUMVENTION OF TECHNOLOGICAL MEASURES- (1)(A) No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title"
Additionally if WikiAnswers were to provide you with information which would allow copyright to be bypassed, there is the possibility of a charge of contributory infringement. In Felton v RIAA: Corley v. Universal the mere posting of a link to a computer program that can be used to circumvent technical protection measures was held to be a violation of the DMCA. [Universal v. Corley (2d Ciruit cite)]

∙ 13y agoYes; in fact the typical agreement language is very simple:
FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged [name of assignor] ("Assignor"), located at [insert address], hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to [name of assignee] ("Assignee), located at [insert address], its successors and assigns, in perpetuity, all right (whether now known or hereinafter invented), title, and interest, throughout the world, including any copyrights and renewals or extensions thereto, in [title and short description of work, including, if available copyright registration number].
IN WITNESS THEREOF, Assignor has duly executed this Agreement.

∙ 12y agoYes. All intellectual property (trademarks, copyrights, patents, etc) has some intrinsic value & can be bought & sold between parties once that value is established.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThere's no specific market for copyright; generally the user comes to you, and to license the work rather than purchase the rights outright.
