I understand that. But if you spend 80 hours per week on it, is it still "passive" or do you simply have two jobs?

To me the idea of "passive" income is that you might spend a certain amount upfront but after that initial push it doesn't require a lot of attention, i.e. passive.

Well if he's spending that much time on it, then yeah I'd agree, not passive. In the interest of naming arbitrary cutoff points I'd call anything more than 10 hours a week not passive.
