Snowden's publisher was sued and prevented from paying him for the work. What's the deal with the paid subscription option then? Will substack end up just pocketing the money, or is there some legal workaround? For that matter, could the government try and go after any paying subscribers?
- vorpalhex 5y agoNot sure about substack, but usually the Fed won't chase small time subscribers. They are more likely to yank the money at the payment processor.
- mkr-hn 5y agoStripe probably has better lawyers with more experience dealing with payments than the publisher. They might even be the same lawyers Substack has since they're both YC companies.
