Everyone’s worried AI is stealing intellectual property, but most creators are defending the very system that never really protected them.
In this episode, I dig into the massive copyright lawsuit that has Disney and NBCUniversal taking on Midjourney. This isn’t just another legal headline. It could be the beginning of a seismic shift in how we think about ownership, creativity, and compensation in the age of AI.
From billion-dollar characters to federal rulings on fair use, the system is being stress-tested like never before. But here’s the twist: while the big studios fight to protect their empires, these changes might actually help small creators, marketers, and freelancers thrive.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why Disney is suing Midjourney, and what’s really at stake
- How AI models trained on copyrighted material are being declared “fair use”
- Why Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey want to delete IP law entirely
- What we can learn from how the music industry survived Napster
- How new models like revenue sharing and remix platforms could emerge
- Why small creators might gain new freedoms in a post-copyright world
- What this means for marketing, storytelling, and your next campaign
