Ep. 6 - Legal Considerations for Digital Product Creators and Sellers
Manage episode 359574381 series 3457733
In this episode of Not So Risky Business podcast, you'll understand all the different kinds of legal considerations that are relevant for creating and selling digital products. In this episode, we will talk about:
- Website Compliance: Ensure your website is legally compliant and protected by including a privacy policy, disclaimer policy, and terms and conditions. These policies will help protect your business and digital products from potential legal issues.
- Copyright Protection: Include a copyright notice at the beginning of your digital products to inform users that the content is protected under copyright laws. This can help establish intentional infringement if someone copies your work. Additionally, include a copyright notice in the footer of your website.
- Fair Use Doctrine: Consider creating a separate page on your website or course area outlining what constitutes fair use of your content. This can help you control the use of your content and potentially prevent misunderstandings regarding fair use. Keep in mind that fair use determinations are ultimately made by courts.
- Addressing Infringement: Be prepared for the possibility of copyright infringement, even with precautions in place. Having clear policies and notices can help you take legal action if necessary, and protect your digital products and business overall.
- Trademark registration: Consider registering your trademark if you're not a hobbyist, and, instead are running a business
- Refunds: Will you offer one or not, and how will you handle the situation
- Accessibility: Think equally accessible content for all
