Is this legit?

I have a ton of old WSOs lying around on m desktop

Some of them have some great parts to them.

Would it be ok to take bits and pieces from different WSO's and put them together in a new fresh WSO

Taking the best bits from them and putting them all together?

Obviously would be re written and put my own spin on things?


I know you cannot sell PLR here on the WF but would this be ok?

Interested for some feedback

    I suggest coming up with something new and fresh. You'll do much better than rehashing other peoples work.

    We don't need any more Frankenstein's monster WSOs.

    Nothing like joining a forum and asking if you can steal other members hard work, rewrite it, and sell it as your own.

    I'm sure after take action from your WSO on your drive, you must have some great value experience so you can make your own unique WSO.

    I think if you can make a so with some great things to gather that will be good. But you have to be sure that you do not steal others people works.

      People repackage products all the time. Just add some additional information and don't copy the exact text from the old WSOs and you should be fine. Give it a shot!

      Good luck!
      So you cleared this with the owners of the WSOs?

      OP: No, you cannot just rewrite other people's products and call them your own.

      Take what you have learned from the WSOs and create your own system.

      Do a couple of case studies to prove that your system works.

      In your WSO cite where you got your ideas from. This is to cover copyright and moral issues.

      You can also promote the other WSOs in your product.

      Read the confidentiality clauses for the WSOs you are going to use. If you have agreed not to disclose the information in the WSO, I would not use it.

      I see two areas of moral concern.
      • Do you have the right to use the material and
      • Have you tested your system to see that it works.

        Thanks for your advice. This is the best piece of advice I have got from this thread.

        Taking bits of what I have learned and what works and putting a new spin on it.

        I also really like the idea of promoting other peoples WSOs alongside mine.

        Thanks
