Granted, the owner of a copyright on an old cheesy movie is not likely to come after you, but the copyright protection STILL applies.
This can cause a problem with eBay if someone notices the listing OR if your customer complains they received a burned copy of a movie. eBay's policy on burned DVD's is they are not allowed unless YOU own the copyright on it.
People do this, of course, but I wouldn't ESPECIALLY on a new account.
