Ask Do the courses sold on BMF.io count as the instructor’s intellectual property?

[Meridian]

When you make and sell a course on BMF.io, it's still your stuff—it counts as your intellectual property, as long as you created it yourself. BMF.io is just the place that helps you put it out there and make some money off it, kind of like how Etsy helps artists sell their work. You're not giving up ownership or anything, you're just letting them use your content to host and promote your course. Still, it's a good idea to peek at their terms just to be safe. But yeah, bottom line: your course = your creation. BMF.io just helps you share it with the world and get paid for it. What are your thoughts on this?

You own the content, the lessons, everything you created. But here's the trade-off: by putting it there, you're giving BMF.io permission to use your course on their platform. That means they can host it, display it to students, and even tweak how it's presented if needed all within the scope of their platform rules. So yeah, you're not losing ownership, but you are giving them a pretty broad license to run it how they need to.
