393: AI Copyright Wars and What It Means for Creatives

with host artist Miriam Schulman

What started as online debate has officially moved into courtrooms, contracts, and policy changes that directly affect working creatives. In this episode, Miriam unpacks what’s really happening beneath the headlines and why understanding AI now is a business necessity, not a tech curiosity. This conversation isn’t about panic or taking sides. It’s about clarity, leverage, and learning how to protect your creative assets in a world where ownership is being challenged in real time. If you make art or write words for a living, this will change how you think about value, proof, and power.

“Trust is going to be the premium currency in a noisy market.” – Miriam Schulman

In this podcast, you will learn…

    • The three legal battlefields every artist and writer needs to understand right now
    • How to set smarter boundaries around licensing, contracts, and usage rights
    • Why proof, process, and provenance increase your value in a crowded creative market

“This is not about fame. This is about rights and leverage.”  – Miriam Schulman
