If creating a book, the final output as an end product, I own all copyright works to the poetry, music and photographs, everything I have done/written/produced myself, am I legally allo9wed to sell copies of it as the finished product?
Hi, Technically, that depends. PhotoStory is a consumer product and the end user license prohibits commercial use of the effects, transitions... of the product for commercial use. The end user license agreement (EULA) will dictate the terms of use. I know this is a pain and a little confusing to most people, but I would consult a copyright attorney if you expect to make a significant amount of money from the work you have created. Are you likely to get sued for using it, probably not unless you make millions and the Magix attorneys decide to come after you. This is a problem with pretty much all consumer products. Professional products cost a lot more, but their licences offer a lot more. Would I worry about it (and this is just a personal opinion and not legal advice). Answer I would not. You need to decide and perhaps talk to an attorney to make your decision.

Hi
The part where Copyright does not become relevant is if you have, as you indicate,
. . . the poetry, music and photographs, everything I have done/written/produced myself . . .
and that means:
If in doubt consult a copyright attorney / lawyer as George has suggested.
Just to throw in an oddball re copyright - in some countries if you use equipment or software that is not wholly owned or hired by you, the owner(s) can claim rights to a part or all of the copyright and / or royalty payments.
