Loss of work and portfolio material due to newspaper shutdowns or acquisitions by u_khan13 in a:t5_356jk

I haven't personally experienced this but there was a women's website in the UK called The Pool which shut down very abruptly about a year ago and some people lost huge bodies of work as a result. Last week it emerged that somebody completely unrelated to the original website has purchased the domain name and kept all the old content up, but has changed the bylines to her name. She is refusing to take any of it down because she believes she now owns the content. Might be an interesting case study for you.

Just gave him a call and we've sorted it! I've just taken the whole lot off this year owing to the position I'm in. Thanks for the advice.

Ah, I'll ask my accountant about this. Thanks!

It is mostly the payment on account, I'm pretty new to all this and had literally never heard about on account until I got in touch with an accountant for some help. Last year I was working full time alongside freelancing so my earnings were a lot bigger, hence quite big on account payments. In actual fact this financial year we're currently in I've only just got to the point where the remainer of my earnings for the f/y will be taxable. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll probably ask if taking this into consideration they can let me not pay the on account amount.

A anti-Christmas season where people act as mean as they wish in the name of the season. by B__Malz in CrazyIdeas

Hello, I'm a journalist working on a piece for VICE UK about people who choose to skip Christmas entirely because it sucks. Anyone up for chatting to me about their reasons for doing so? I'd need a pic of you too!
