join me: https://www.bookincomestreammachine.c... In this video, I'm sharing The Copyright Mistake That Cost Me Six Figures on Amazon KDP! What if you built a bestselling book on Amazon… and then lost all the income overnight? In this video, I’m getting super real about the copyright mistake that cost me over $37,000 in passive income on Amazon KDP. 😭 If you're publishing on Amazon (or thinking about it), you must understand the difference between commercial use and copyright ownership—especially when using tools like Canva or AI-generated art. I’m walking you through: How my top-selling book got blocked by Amazon The truth about Canva’s Pro license (and what it doesn’t cover) How to protect your books with original work The workaround I used to recreate the book (legally!) What I learned from working with a copyright attorney How AI and copyright interact today (and what might be coming) Whether you're a beginner or scaling fast, this is a must-watch to keep your royalties safe.
