"We've spent years perfecting our craft, only to watch the last couple of years turn our industry into an open buffet. 'Inspiration' has been replaced by scraping. 'Style' has been reduced to a prompt."
"Standing on the moral high ground isn't enough anymore. You need something more permanent. You need a record that says: 'I was here first, and here's the math to prove it.'"
"The training models powering AI tools are doing more than drawing inspiration from our work too. They're ingesting it wholesale, without credit, without consent, without compensation."

Originality has declined as AI tools and social media promote uncredited use of creative work. Designers are frustrated with the lack of protection for their intellectual property, which is often treated as a mere footnote. A new approach is needed to establish ownership and accountability, ensuring creators receive credit and compensation for their contributions.
