PLR rights

Understanding Digital Product Rights

When purchasing or downloading digital products, it’s important to understand the different types of rights associated with them. Below are the most common licensing terms and what they mean:

1. Private Label Rights (PLR)

PLR products give you the most flexibility. You can modify, rebrand, and even claim authorship. Depending on the terms, you may also resell, give away, or use the content as your own. However, always check the specific licensing terms as some PLR providers have restrictions.

✅ Typically Allowed:

  • Edit, rebrand, and rewrite the content
  • Add your name as the author
  • Resell or give it away (with or without rights)
  • Use as website/blog content, courses, or lead magnets

🚫 Common Restrictions:

  • Cannot transfer PLR rights to buyers (unless stated)
  • Some providers restrict selling on certain platforms

2. Resell Rights (RR)

With Resell Rights, you can sell the product as-is but cannot modify it. You’re simply acting as a distributor.

✅ Typically Allowed:

  • Sell to customers at any price
  • Keep 100% of the profits

🚫 Common Restrictions:

  • Cannot edit or rebrand the product
  • Cannot transfer resell rights to buyers (unless you have Master Resell Rights)

3. Master Resell Rights (MRR)

MRR gives you the ability to sell both the product AND resell rights to your buyers. This means your customers can also sell it, but usually without modification.

✅ Typically Allowed:

  • Sell to customers and allow them to resell
  • Keep 100% of the profits

🚫 Common Restrictions:

  • Cannot edit the product unless PLR is included
  • Some licenses restrict pricing

4. Personal Use Only

A Personal Use license means the product is for your own use only. You cannot sell, give away, or modify it. This is common with software, courses, and exclusive content.

✅ Typically Allowed:

  • Use for yourself (e.g., watch a course, use templates)

🚫 Common Restrictions:

  • Cannot share, resell, or redistribute the content

5. Giveaway Rights (GR)

Products with Giveaway Rights can be freely distributed, often used as lead magnets. However, they cannot be sold unless combined with another license (e.g., PLR or MRR).

✅ Typically Allowed:

  • Give away for free
  • Use to build an email list

🚫 Common Restrictions:

  • Cannot sell the product
  • Cannot modify (unless PLR is included)

Conclusion

Before using or selling any digital product, always check the specific licensing terms. Understanding these rights will help you stay compliant and maximize the value of your content.
