Stop playing "Statutory Chess" with a blindfold on and start weaponizing your creative assets, aka copyrights. Most artists fall into the "Automatic Copyright" trap, leaving them with a paper shield that holds zero weight in a federal courtroom, but once you master the six exclusive copyrights under Title 17 U.S.C. § 106, you stop being "inventory" for the Big Three and start becoming a Statutory Rights Holder. From unlocking $150,000 in statutory damages to triggering the 35-year termination "reset button," this video exposes the legal levers the industry hopes you never learn, so you can finally claim your seat as a landlord of your own legacy.
