Ask Do you mind your clients sharing your materials?

[Newman]

Some coaches are not really after share their materials, in as much as they have paid. On the other hand, some other coaches see their material as their intellectual property that needs to be protected and should not be shared anyhow.

Those that don't mind assume the materials belong to the students once they have paid for them. What's your take on this? Do you mind your clients sharing your materials once they have paid for them?

As a coach, it's important to consider the balance between respecting clients' rights to share materials they have paid for and protecting the intellectual property you have created. It's understandable that some coaches view their materials as valuable assets that need to be safeguarded. However, if clients have purchased your materials, they may feel entitled to share them with others.

You need to balance the situation. Because they pay doesn't mean that they should be sharing the courses any how. Just like the poster said, it is the intellectual property of the coach, that doesn't need to be shared or even duplicated. But that doesn't mean it cannot be shared for educational purposes.
