Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes š“163 The $363 lesson I didnāt see coming
Uh ohāgot one of those emails. You know the kind: subject line screams āCopyright Violation.ā š¬
In this episode, I share the full story of how I got caught out using an image of Aussie cricketer David Warner on my websiteāwithout the proper license. It wasnāt intentional, and it wasnāt even me who posted itā¦ but that doesnāt matter when it comes to copyright.
Hereās what I cover:
- The honest mistake involving my VA and how it happened
- My swift response: what I did within 5 minutes of opening the email
- Why Iām not trying to wriggle out of the feeāand what Iāve asked for instead
- Lessons for solopreneurs and creators about copyright, delegation, and doing the right thing
- How AI might be the one that caught meāand how we can use AI to avoid this happening again
Whether you run a business, a blog, or you just love creating onlineāthis episode is a reminder that if you post it, you own it (including the consequences). Iāll keep you posted if I manage to negotiate that fee.
