  • At a random time, when nothing is happening, hand him a “paid talent release form”.

    If you look up “talent release form” it’s what allows a creator to use materials with another person. As it stands now, he asked you to participate but did not have you sign a release (with no fee), so you own partial rights to income from that video.

    Say to him: “Since you are a pretty big creator I assume you’re familiar with releases. I grabbed a standard one to give you rights to my previously included videos, and here’s another for any future videos including me for a 50% share. I’ll sign them after you approve and sign unless you have a standard set you would like to use”

    This makes it a business transaction, vs a “leave me alone”. He won’t want to figure out how to pay you, so he’ll probably stop.






  • Those aren’t build logs. Those are “I took an open source software package and put commercial hardware around it.”

    Which is fine, since it’s MIT software (and why I push for GPL, personally). What’s not fine is a creator calling their commercial product “open” or “DIY” without a BOM or build log.

    I would revise the post title regardless of what the author calls it, personally.
