Best Shark Tank Acquisitions
How is this legal? As an instructor, I feel I should be entitled to control the sale of notes (derivative works) created from my lectures.
How would Barbara Corcoran or any shark respond if they gave a seminar on a topic they were knowledgeable about, and found out someone had taken notes and was selling them?
My guess is the shark would be reaching out via their attorney for a little cease and desist.
You want in on the sales of your students notes? Thats some greedy crap right there.
Using that logic you should be paying every teacher and professor you ever had a royalty straight from your salary since youre making money on something they taught you.
