    The Copyright Detective – AI's Impact on Publishing - Interview with Dan Miller
    2026/06/10

    In this episode of Indie Authors Tell All, host Judy M. Baker sits down with Dan Miller, famously known as "The Copyright Detective," to navigate the complex and rapidly changing landscape of intellectual property in the era of Artificial Intelligence.

    As AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT continue to evolve, independent authors face new challenges: How much can you use AI before you lose your copyright? Is your work being "scraped" without permission? And most importantly, what practical steps can you take right now to protect your creative assets?

    Whether you are a novelist, a blogger, or a non-fiction author, this episode provides a much-needed roadmap for "hardening" your work against the digital onslaught. Listen to hear a discussion about the AI Copyright dilemma, the three- month rule, dealing with web scraping, practical AI usage, and avoiding common pitfalls.
