Let’s cut through the noise.

Google and OpenAI—two of the biggest players in artificial intelligence—are openly agreeing that copyright has no place in AI development (Read the article here). That means your books, your courses, your intellectual property—the content you’ve poured your life into—can be scraped, used, and repurposed without your permission.

Let that sink in.

The words you carefully crafted, the expertise you refined over decades, the legacy you’re building through your writing and coaching—are they even yours anymore?

If You Don’t Own It, You Can’t Control It

Copyright isn’t just some technical, legal mumbo-jumbo. It’s your power. Your protection. Your leverage.

And now? Tech giants are pushing to erase it.

They want to feed AI with YOUR content. Train their models with YOUR work. Profit off YOUR expertise—without giving you a single dime or ounce of credit.

If you’re an author, coach, speaker, or content creator, the alarm bells should be deafening.

AI Won’t Ask for Permission. But It Will Take Everything You Give It.

Think about it:

• You post a book excerpt online? AI scrapes it.
• You share a coaching framework? AI absorbs it.
• You publish valuable insights? AI regurgitates them—with no credit to you.

And the worst part? People will pay AI for answers—answers that came from YOU.

This is your wake-up call.

(See how Google and OpenAI are removing copyright from AI development).

The Urgency to Write, Copyright, Publish & Protect

Right now, you have a small window to claim your intellectual property, copyright your work, and ensure you control your content before it’s swallowed into the AI abyss.

Here’s what you must do—immediately:

✅ WRITE IT DOWN – If your ideas aren’t documented, they don’t exist in the eyes of the law. Get your content into a structured, publishable format.

✅ COPYRIGHT EVERYTHING – Own your words before someone else does. If you’re publishing or creating content, you must register it with the U.S. Copyright Office.

✅ PUBLISH WITH STRATEGY – A published book is more than just content—it’s a legal timestamp that establishes you as the originator.

✅ CONTROL DISTRIBUTION – Don’t just post valuable content freely without protection. Own the platforms you use (email lists, gated communities, paid memberships).

Because once AI ingests your work, you can’t get it back.

This Is Bigger Than AI. It’s About Your Legacy.

For authors, entrepreneurs, and coaches, your content is your greatest asset. It’s the foundation of your business, your credibility, your authority.

But if you don’t take action, your life’s work could become nothing more than AI training data. Uncredited. Unprotected. Uncompensated.

It’s time to get serious.
