The thing is -- they probably already know how it works. The idea of getting you to talk to them is legally defensive. They can say you explained it to them, or they explained it to you. It gives them a stronger position. Maybe there's even some clause in what you signed that says they own it if you told it to them. It's probably important to record all voice meetings.

I guess you first need to be in a strong position if you want to negotiate with them. You could just ignore them. Or as you say, you could try to get something out of this, like a partnership.

How could you get into a stronger position? Maybe talk to a lawyer for ideas. I think that incorporating your company and get the legal done correct will help if you wanted to sell. Assign your IP to the incorporated company. All of this I think should help since it makes you look more serious and helps make it a clear proposition for whoever is buying.

Whether you want to sell or just get something else, as others say, counter higher.

It's probably smart to suggest a few options on the table for them. And for context you could tell them you are talking to others as well, and say someone else has offered you XXX for such and such. Consider also that this company could are probably aware of this HN post, so be aware of that!

If you want to give them numbers for sale or salary as part of an options you suggest to them how might you cost that? At least use Alexa "how much is my site worth" to get an idea, and then realistically consider, how much is this worth. How might you do that? Maybe something involving potential customers * ( LTV - CPA ). Or maybe consider this question: what is your current salary? what is your ideal salary? How much time did you put into this? What was your time cost? Or maybe consider, how much money would you need to give yourself X units of time to work on the next thing you want to do.

If you want to partner with them, who would own the IP? Would it be shared? Profit shared? Would you be retained as employee? Consultant? Volunteer? Who has the final say for decisions about this if you partner with them?

Truth is -- you need to understand why they want to buy you. It's probably some kind of hedge. Like, to take you out of competition. Do you think that's possible? Consider the possibility that if you do not reach some agreement with them they might move on to "offensive strategies" if they are serious about what your project may mean for them. Companies are not moral, they are cost and objective based. So if it costs less for them to try to sue you than to buy it, and their objective is to shut your project down, they will do that. Consider these things.

Importantly, probably understanding what you hope to achieve by growing it. Why do you want to do it personally? And does the underlying reason really imply that the choice to grow it and partner is the best way for you to achieve that underlying goal?

And of course they did. Remiss in their duty had they not. What was the point? It was not impossible to tell as the article claims. He's an enabler. They need to know if he is getting special information or had any special relationships with other persons of interest, especially foreign intelligence services. The internet is media. Media persons have always been surveillance targets for their , by definition, outsize ability to influence the population. You think other contemporary "media magnates" are not also "selectors"? Living in a dream world, Neo.
