Copyright is the legal backbone of the creative economy, and this webinar will show why it matters for every writer, publisher, and rights holder. Copyright protection not only vests automatically when an original work is registered, it
also becomes a valuable business asset that can increase market value by proving ownership, supporting IP valuation, and enabling structured licensing deals.
With clear copyright status, creators and publishers can control how their work is used, both authorizing or refusing AI training, syndication, and other exploitations, and converting their archive into recurring revenue through licenses,
royalties, and partnerships. At the same time, enforceable rights give creators leverage in litigation and negotiations, allowing them to stop unauthorized uses, recover damages, and protect the integrity and commercial potential of their content in an AI-driven marketplace
