Would be interested to know if specialised companies exist that invest in these particular scenarios. Good product, decent number of users but without the financial means to face a lawsuit (that has some chance of winning). Essentially a lawyer service who take a chunk of equity if they win.
- vinceguidry 10y agoThey weren't even threatened. A lawyer didn't write the email. They just got spooked and decided to quit. You can't fix this problem with anything other than "changing the climate of the music industry" as they wrote in their letter. You're going to need a lot more than a new legal service to fix this. If you want to make money and have an impact, do goddamn anything but try to do it through or with, or anything around music. You can make money, or have an impact, but fuck you if you try to do both. The music industry and the world Hacker News was birthed in are at complete 180 degree odds with each other.
