Why subscribe?

YouTube processed 2.2 billion copyright claims last year. Behind every one is a creator wondering: Did I actually do something wrong?

Usually, the answer is no. But nobody’s explaining why.

I’m Christian, founder of ClearVerse. I write about the gap between what detection tools flag and what copyright law actually says — and why that gap is costing creators money, sleep, and channels.

What you’ll get:

→ How copyright law actually applies to your content (not just platform policies)

→ What AI music generation means for rights and risk

→ The case law and data that detection companies don’t show you

→ Early access to what we’re building at ClearVerse

If you’ve ever gotten a claim and wondered whether to fight it or accept it — this newsletter will help you understand why that decision matters.

Stay up-to-date

One email per week. No spam. No fluff.

Each post breaks down something real: a court ruling that changes how similarity gets evaluated, an AI development that’s reshaping music rights, or a pattern I’m seeing across the creators we work with.

I write the newsletter I wish existed when I started building ClearVerse — clear, practical, and grounded in how the system actually works.

This isn’t a broadcast. It’s a conversation.

I read every reply. Some of the best posts come from questions readers ask. If you’ve got a copyright horror story, a question I haven’t answered, or a take I got wrong — I want to hear it.

We’re building something at ClearVerse, and the people reading this newsletter are helping shape what it becomes.

Subscribe. Hit reply. Tell me what you’re dealing with.

Let’s figure this out together.
