🌴163 The $363 lesson I didn’t see coming

Uh oh—got one of those emails. You know the kind: subject line screams “Copyright Violation.” 😬In this episode, I share the full story of how I got caught out using an image of Aussie cricketer David Warner on my website—without the proper license. It wasn’t intentional, and it wasn’t even me who posted it… but that doesn’t matter when it comes to copyright.Here’s 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 I’m not trying to wriggle out of the fee—and what I’ve asked for insteadLessons for solopreneurs and creators about copyright, delegation, and doing the right thingHow AI might be the one that caught me—and how we can use AI to avoid this happening againWhether you run a business, a blog, or you just love creating online—this episode is a reminder that if you post it, you own it (including the consequences). I’ll keep you posted if I manage to negotiate that fee.Pre-order my new book WORK FAME and get featured on the Wall of Work FameSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comLet's connect on all the channels:Leanne Hughes on LinkedInLeanne Hughes on InstagramVisit my website: leannehughes.comEmail me: [email protected] you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?
