The question
Hello,
i'm about to open a website.
It's gonna be media related: the idea is, i have some competence in some media related fields, but not in some others.
I would have people with different competences, in a personal database divided by category (writers, translators etc)
When a client contacts me with a job i cant do for lack of time or lack of expertise, i would pass on the job to one of the people in the database. People would be working on my behalf, or anyway, under the website's name.
The client would deal directly with me: im gonna be a middle-man between client and freelancer. the idea is I would still retain a small percentage of the job.
Is this legal?
Do i have to clearly state to the freelancer that i am keepin a percentage or not?
I am in Italy but the site would be a .com, im guessing this means it abides by US laws?
thanks for your help.
