Some companies distribute so-called "promotional copies" of movies or musical works for publicity purposes before their release to the general public. For example, record companies often distribute "promo" CDs to radio stations to encourage airplay of their music. Movie and television studios often distribute "demo" videos to video stores so they can decide how many copies of a particular video title they want to buy; "screener" or "awards" videos to Academy Awards or Emmy Awards voters; 35mm movie trailers (previews) to movie theaters; posters; and electronic press kits (EPKs).
eChinabid policy does not specifically prohibit the listing of promotional items, but you should be aware that many rights owners take the position that the listing of such items is a copyright infringement.
We are providing this information to assist you in protecting yourself from offering potentially infringing items and trading safely on eChinabid.
