October is National Book Month, so let's make it ours. Drop the title of the book you are writing this month in the comments. Finished draft, rough draft, or just an idea, all of it counts. All month long we are running the HOF Test together. Human. Original. Fixed. Your words, owned by you. For education, not legal advice.

Fresh off today's Copyright Wake-Up Call, here is breaking news that proves the point. A federal judge this week refused to throw out a copyright case against Suno, the AI music company. Indie artists say Suno ripped their songs from YouTube to train its AI music generator. Three things that matter for you: 1. The judge said the artists do not have to name every infringing AI output to keep their case alive. Their 100 examples of Suno outputs imitating their songs were enough. 2. The artists' claim that Suno got around YouTube's protections also survived. 3. Cases like this are why registration matters. Registered work gives you stronger claims and stronger remedies in court. This is happening in real time while AI trains on creative work. Before you create or build your next book, song, course, or app, know what you own.
