Well I made a big mistake of starting a paysite with a partner. The guy was someone I knew online, never met before. What a mistake. I thought it was a good idea at the time but what a pain in the ass. After several incidents from the doorknob doing stuff to the site without asking me i.e. moving to shitty hosting and the site being down for an unforeseen period of time . So finally I got lucky and the guy pulled out of the site.

Now the guy keeps emailing me trying to be a pain in the ass. We had both put about half of the content into the site. So now that he is no longer with the site I need to figure out where his content is from so that I can purchase it from the content provider. Most of it I knew where it was from and I have purchased quite a bit of it. But I am still searching for about half. Meanwhile this guy is being a dickhead and emailing to take his licensed content down. So I told him this morning to go ahead and feel free to contact the content providers so that I can make arrangements to purchase the content.

lol I think I'll be a little more careful next time about considering partnerships!
