Uh ohâgot one of those emails. You know the kind: subject line screams âCopyright Violation.â đŹ
In this episode, I share the full story of how I got caught out using an image of Aussie cricketer David Warner on my websiteâwithout the proper license. It wasnât intentional, and it wasnât even me who posted it⌠but that doesnât matter when it comes to copyright.
Hereâs what I cover:
The honest mistake involving my VA and how it happenedMy swift response: what I did within 5 minutes of opening the emailWhy Iâm not trying to wriggle out of the feeâand what Iâve asked for insteadLessons for solopreneurs and creators about copyright, delegation, and doing the right thingHow AI might be the one that caught meâand how we can use AI to avoid this happening againWhether you run a business, a blog, or you just love creating onlineâthis episode is a reminder that if you post it, you own it (including the consequences). Iâll keep you posted if I manage to negotiate that fee.
