Internet Lawyer — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 12:56:06 +0000

As an Internet lawyer, I look for lessons in the offline world that can be applied to your online business. Today’s lesson is about an idiotpreneur profiled in a national newspaper as if she had done something smart. Ms. Idiotpreneur’s business was going down the toilet. Blaming it on the economy, there were telltale signs [...]

Internet Attorney: When should you NOT use contracts?

Internet Lawyer — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 14:28:17 +0000

As an Internet attorney, clients will come to me about putting together a deal but the legal fees for drafting the contract would exceed the amount of the deal itself. That doesn’t make sense from a business standpoint and I tell them so. So when should you not use contracts? When the worst-case scenario of [...]

Internet Lawyer: Jinky and the Frozen Fischer

Internet Lawyer — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 11:52:41 +0000

Chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer was a weird duck until he kicked the bucket two years ago and was buried in Iceland. But they just dug Fischer’s frozen corpse up for DNA testing. Even to an Internet lawyer like me, that’s just damn strange. Why the DNA test? There’s a Filipino woman who claims that Fischer [...]

Outsourcing: Do you make these 5 deadly mistakes?

Internet Lawyer — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:30:44 +0000

Outsourcing is one of the best ways for Internet entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. If you’ve got plenty of good ideas for new products and services but not enough time in the day to implement, you either need to hire employees which cost a lot — often more than than they’re worth — or outsource [...]

Outsourcing: Do Your Independent Contractors Get Paid Like Today’s James Bond?

Internet Lawyer — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 21:14:05 +0000

With a license to kill, a hit team took out a Hamas terrorist leader while he was staying at a Dubai hotel. If he were alive today, Ian Fleming would probably have considered the hit as a plot for one of his James Bond novels. As the hunt continues for the those who carried out [...]

India Outsourcing Killed by PayPal?

Internet Lawyer — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:59:02 +0000

If you’re paying for computer programming, web design etc. to India via PayPal, think again for the time being. In response to the Indian government’s crackdown on international money laundering, PayPal has suspended “personal payments to and from India and transfers to local banks in India…Customers can still make commercial payments to India but merchants [...]

Outsourcing: Delegate Does Not Mean Abdicate

Internet Lawyer — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:06:10 +0000

If work can be assigned to someone else who will do it for less than the value of your time, I’m a big supporter of delegating that work. Ideally, you’ll want it done on an independent contractor basis. In rare instances, an employee will be necessary. You can then use your time to generate more [...]

Kim Jong Il – North Korean Dictator Declares Himself An Internet Expert

Internet Lawyer — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 23:19:15 +0000

Just when you thought North Korean crackpot Kim Jong Il couldn’t get any crazier, he claims that he’s an Internet expert. “I’m an Internet expert too. It’s all right to wire the industrial zone only, but there are many problems if other regions of the North are wired,” he said. Hmmm. Wonder what those problems [...]

Virtual Assistants Can Be a Pain in the Ass

Internet Lawyer — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 07:52:55 +0000

Outsourcing work to virtual assistants has become popular among Internet marketers. And if the assistant is both intelligent and has integrity, it can be a win-win deal. If either characteristic is missing, it is better to do the work yourself. Let me give you an example. Mack (not his real name) contacted me looking for [...]

Outsourcing: Why You Should Use Work-For-Hire Agreements In Your Business

Internet Lawyer — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 03:50:49 +0000

If you’re outsourcing work, instead of doing it yourself or having an employee do it, you should consider using a work-for-hire contract to protect your legal rights. If you’re doing work as an independent contractor, a written work-for-hire agreement sometimes is the only thing that ensures you get paid for your efforts…and it reduces your [...]
