Accused of copyright violation

Ask a Lawyerwhat's this?

Question

Country: United States of America
State: All States Provinces

I own an eBay business and purchase a lot of things from garage sales and good will. Much of which I try to buy new in package. Bought something recently at Goodwill and listed on eBay. EBay took it off and said it was copyrighted. I did not sell any. Received a letter from an attorney saying I am now being sued for listing them. I am under the impression that they believed I duplicated them myself. Which I did not. I did not sell any and will not re-list them but I am being sued. What rights do I have since I did not produce these cod's?

Answer

You can explain what happened and where you bought them--you should then be fine--
