This book was born out of necessity. For too long, artists, creators, and everyday citizens have been left without a clear trail to follow in the storm of artificial intelligence. The law lags behind, corporations race ahead, and ordinary people are caught in the dust.
The CopyRider campaign grew out of this tension: to protect originality, expose deception, and light a beacon for fair competition. What follows is both a story and a manual—a map of the open range where truth and creativity must still ride free.
The CopyRider rides into an untamed frontier — a digital landscape where the old laws of creativity are being tested by new forces of artificial intelligence. In this land, creators can be pioneers or prey. The mission of this book is simple: to give every rider the knowledge and tools they need to survive and thrive on the open range of ideas.
As you turn these pages, you’ll find maps to guide you, codes to steer your choices, and tools to defend what’s yours. The six tools of the open range, gathered here in Chapter 11, are not theory or decoration — they are meant to be used. Together, we can carve out a future where innovation and integrity ride side by side.
