Default Copyright Question

I sell CD wall displays on Etsy, using ONLY ORIGINAL CD’S AND ARTWORK , cut them up and add them to a mount.

Can I ask why I am receiving copyright infringement notices when there are thousands of CD’s on sale on Etsy?

Anybody know the answer?

it does not matter whether you use original cd's etc. , there is a lot of copyright infringement on etsy so they assume you are in violation

no one is going to investigate anything , no one cares , the next time you might as well use counterfeits

Ceremony Of Roses are part of Sony Music. I wouldn't sell anything they have listed on their list of artists. Sony use another company called Trap to enforce their IP as well, and they are a nightmare to deal with.

Podqi are a new company.

Is this the only two infringements you have on Etsy>

you can sell sony and almost everything else if you do not offer anything that is visible to have been tempered with but etsy is under suspicion in general

etsy is a market for handmade items in theory so that any cd or dvd being sold there is under suspicion of being counterfeit. I buy there from time to time too as they have some rare content but I have never received a genuine cd/dvd from there

Etsy is now a marketplace for handmade,antiques and vintage items,it has been for many years.
If handmade,it must be made by you or someone employed by you.
But I see plenty of ALIBABA,TEMU stuff handmade by Etsy sellers !
