    Default Odd question, but need advice

    I have recieved some letters and drawings from two known names in society. These two characters like to draw me things and write me poems.

    My roomate says when these people die i could sell this stuff and make good money. I was not in it for the money, i think about families of these people who write me and all...but would this be against the law? I mean simply an act that could get me in trouble if i sold off anything.

    Right now i chose not to put anything up on my little blog because i am afraid it will get taken/stolen, although the stuff written or drawn has my name on them.

    Would this be legal perhaps, these two people are still alive.
    It is personal correspondance after all.

    Anything that would be wrong about it?

    Thanks.

    If it is personal correspondence I would wait until one party died or with permission.

    If it has to do with criminals, there are laws about them benefiting from their crimes - so be prepared for scrutiny in a ratio to the amount you are making.

    Thank you for answering. So if word got to families i could be sued?

    It is criminals, who would i get permission from? And i have decided i would do this (maybe) after they are dead.

    Best not i put anything on my blog due to the nature of the crimes and families? I want to protect myself from being sued, and want to not hurt families i guess too. Is tough.

    I doubt they could sue you unless you are fronting for the criminal.

    Unfortunately it happens alot where people will sell stuff (paintings, etc.) made by a prisoner and then split the money with them. That is illegal based on the state.

    But you're own private property you are free to sell if you like.


    If it is mutual ownership... like those sex tapes ya know... then things can get convoluted ... especially if there are reparations to be found (think of that guy seeing OJ's Rolex in a picture and saying "Thats mine now!")

    Got it. Yea the stuff is written or painted to me with each one having my name on it. I wont and they have not asked to make money and give them a penny... not gonna happen. I think i should wait until the prisoners are dead and see what i decide to do. Perhaps just keep the stuff put away. I wanted to post some on my blog as i said but it's not right for families to see SK shit being out there (if they ever did) but i have learned soooo much with these drawings, poems etc.

    Kinda want to get rid of it somehow one day. There are people who would buy the stuff. But again i feel i would be making $ off a SK. And that's not cool unless families of victims got a cut (if this stuff brought in money)

    I want to do right. But don't want to sit on this stuff either.

    Thanks for the advice.
