Nasir and Matt talk about one woman's revenge against Huffington Post after she realized it used her photo without giving her credit. They also answer the question, "We are trying to negotiate a deal on entering into either a joint venture or some profit sharing partnership for our service and wanted to know if we can just use a term sheet before putting everything formally in writing." Full Podcast Transcript NASIR: All right. Welcome to our podcast where we cover business in the news and answer some of your business legal questions that you, the listener, can send in to ask@legallysoundsmartbusiness.com. My name is Nasir Pasha. MATT: And this is Matt Staub. NASIR: Very excited. This is our 99th episode. That’s about… if you take 101 and minus 2, that’s 99, to kind of help you out with that math. Very exciting. MATT: And it only took 99 episodes for you… I think that’s the first correct math problem you’ve done on the podcast so that’s always good. NASIR: Yeah. MATT: We should stop here. Well, not because of the math thing which is… I don’t know if I want to get to a hundred. NASIR: No, we can’t stop. We have to do our 100th episode which I’m excited for because at least what plan is – who knows if we’ll actually do it – we’re planning on recording live together in the same room which we never have done in about 99 episodes, if I did my math correctly. MATT: Yeah, I guess, by the time it comes out, we won’t know whether we’ve done it yet so it will still be accurate, I guess. NASIR: Yeah, exactly, but look out for the next episode. Either way, Episode 100 will be a big one. MATT: Hopefully! NASIR: Yeah, I hope so. All right. So, what do we have today? I’m actually excited about the 100th episode but I’m also excited about this topic as well – this story. MATT: Yeah, you’re overly excited about it. You don’t get excited about these articles too often, but this one… I don’t know what it is. NASIR: This is actually the first time I actually read the article or story that we’re covering. MATT: Usually, you just read the title and look at the pictures which actually is applicable to the story. So, it’s dealing with Huffington Post and I’ve been to Huffington Post before, I believe. I had to have. NASIR: Oh, yeah, it’s a pretty popular news source. I mean, even when people link to different news sources online, it comes up pretty often. Are you being sarcastic? Or I don’t even know. MATT: Well, I’m pretty sure I’ve been there. I don’t know. NASIR: Okay. So, you weren’t? MATT: It was an Arianna Huffington? Is that there? NASIR: Yeah, Arianna I think. MATT: I don’t know. I just know her from the impressions that are done on SNL but they lost that cast member so I don’t know if they’re going to do that anymore. Basically, there’s a bunch of pictures that are up on these articles. One Reddit user, FrancescaO_O specifically – I assume she’s listening to this podcast – basically, she found out that one of her photos was being used on Huffington post and she wanted to do something about it. She tried to reach out and I think she was ignored initially, right? But, at one point, someone got a hold of her or she was able to get in contact with someone and they said, “We’re not going to give you any credit because you posted it on this other site so the only way to get rid of it is for you to delete the image yourself.” But she got a little bit of creative and I guess the way they had it set up the links which you understand better than me… NASIR: Yeah, let me take care of this tech part. MATT: Yeah, go for it. NASIR: I love how you glossed over the other site. The image was posted on a site called “Imgur” which, by the way, even though you may not know, this is one of the biggest sites in the world, by the way. MATT: I didn’t want to pronounce it incorrectly, that’s why. NASIR: Well, I’m not necessarily sure how it’s pronounced but it’s something like “Imgur” but everyone know about it. So, Huffington Post,
