AI Models Are Stealing From Your Website. Instant IP® Launches Protect the Websiteᴵᴾ to Fight Back
Ohio Pen/10336051

COLUMBUS, Ohio - OhioPen -- A creator can spend years developing a groundbreaking book, course, framework, methodology, or business system. Once published online, an AI scraper can ingest that work in seconds and serve it to users through prompts around the world.

AI companies are valued at billions of dollars, while the creators whose intellectual property fuels those models often receive no credit, permission, attribution, or compensation.

The crime is clear. AI users enter a prompt and receives a framework, phrase, strategy, or solution that appears original. In reality, it may be someone else's intellectual property, stripped of its source and served as though the machine created it.

The creator loses recognition and economic value. The user cannot identify the true origin. The AI company profits.

That is why Instant IP has launched Protect the Websiteᴵᴾ, an initiative helping entrepreneurs, authors, educators, agencies, experts, and businesses identify, document, and protect the IP on their websites.

"Your website is not just marketing," said Kary Oberbrunner, CEO of Instant IP. "It may contain years of original thinking, including your language, frameworks, methods, courses, articles, videos, images, data, and customer experience. In the age of AI, publishing your ideas without creating proof of ownership is a serious risk."

Oberbrunner says AI can be valuable, but creators should not be forced to surrender their intellectual property simply because it appears online.

"These models generate billions of dollars in value, yet the creators supplying the original ideas are often excluded from the economic equation," he said.

Protect the Websiteᴵᴾ solves this. Website owners create a simple screencast capturing the site's content, language, frameworks, layout, and key assets. The screencast is then protected through Instant IP, generating a cryptographic fingerprint and blockchain timestamp tied to the exact file.

"A passive web archive is not the same as creator-controlled proof," Oberbrunner said. "Instant IP takes 1 minute to protect your website via your screencast, creating court-ready proof by establishing a clear chain of custody."

The issue is personal for Oberbrunner. A Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, he discovered several of his books in AI training datasets. He also found his TEDx talk reproduced nearly word for word in an AI-generated article.

"Most people protect their physical property," Oberbrunner said. "But they leave their most valuable intellectual property exposed online. Your digital property deserves protection too."

Protect the Websiteᴵᴾ uses Instant IP's patented blockchain process to help creators protect ideas at the speed of thought. Website owners can claim their free IP credit at www.instantip.today/website.
