Known as the "Demon Star," it is the origin of the Algorithm, the ultimate manifestation of control, enslavement, and and power over mind. Algols eat brains and shut down all cre ative thinking.

"Saddle Up. Let's Ride"

From this saddle, the journey began.

I’m not just a cartoonist—I’m a rider with a mission: to protect the soul of creativity from being stampeded by artificial machines and greedy bandits.

Constitution Protects Creative Expression

This campaign rides on the inspiration of The Founding Fathers. The Constitution protects the right of individual artists and writers to own their creative work and receive the rewards of its ownership.

Protect The Copyright

Copyright isn’t just a legal term. It’s the heart of human expression, the soul of original thought, and the meaning behind every line ever drawn in pursuit of truth, beauty, or freedom.

"Ride with The CopyRider" Campaign

Join me. Ride with me. Help defend the legacy of those who first inked freedom into law.

In the early days of the Republic, when ink met parchment to birth the Constitution of the United States, inscribed a principle so enduring, so sacred, that it remains one of the cornerstones of liberty: the right of the individual to the fruits of their creativity.

"The Congress shall have Power... To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.” (Article 1, Sec 8, Clause 8)

This principle—clear in its language, timeless in its intent—is not merely a statute. It is a covenant. It is the spiritual heartbeat of all who create.

And it is under attack.

About the Campaign

"Ride with the CopyRider" is a grassroots campaign launched by cartoonist Dan Youra, who’s spent decades using wit and satire to call out hypocrisy and champion freedom through hand-drawn art.

As Dan watched artificial intelligence start churning out soulless imitations of human creativity, he saw a new danger on the horizon—one that threatens not only artists, but the legacy of liberty itself. Read More . . .
