This creator just earned $0.14 from OpenAI using their content. Before copyright.sh, this would have been stolen for free.

How It Works In Practice

1

Protect Content

Add the meta tag to your site, which sets your licensing rate and activates protection.

2

Block & Monitor

AI companies must pay your rate or get blocked. Every usage is tracked with HMAC verification.

3

Get Paid

Receive automated payouts to your account. Track your earnings in real-time on your dashboard.

Countering Common AI Industry Excuses

Tech giants claim paying creators isn't "scalable" and that their data scraping is "fair use." We prove them wrong.

The "Fair Use" Fallacy

"Fair use" was designed for limited, transformative purposes like commentary or parody—not for systematic, commercial-scale ingestion of the entire internet to build multi-billion dollar products. AI companies are not libraries; they are for-profit entities building derivative commercial products.

The "It's Not Scalable" Myth

Meta's Nick Clegg and others argue that it's technically impossible to license content at the scale AI needs. This is an engineering challenge, not a legal barrier. And it's a challenge we have solved.

Copyright.sh provides the exact infrastructure to make licensing scalable, simple, and automated. The "not scalable" argument is an excuse to avoid payment, not a real technical limitation.

Our Solution:
✓ Automated meta-tag detection
✓ Real-time API for license checks
✓ Global payment routing
✓ Verifiable, auditable usage tracking

Every Minute You Wait, More Content Gets Stolen

While dozens of lawsuits crawl through courts, OpenAI and Meta are scraping thousands more articles. Don't be a victim - be a plaintiff who's already getting paid.
