What changed between 2025 and autumn 2026, and what a solo creator should do about each.
2025 年到 2026 年秋天变了什么,以及个人创作者分别该怎么做。
Proof of human creation becomes the threshold“人类创作证明”成为版权门槛
US settled on human authorship; Chinese courts split on how much control the user can prove; China's Supreme People's Court is drafting guidance.美国确立人类作者要件;中国法院按“能证明多少控制”分化判决;最高法正在起草指导意见。
DOKeep creation logs and project files. "Human-made, with process" becomes a selling point.留创作日志和工程文件。“人类创作、过程可查”本身会变成卖点。
From "block the bots" to "pay per crawl"从“屏蔽爬虫”走向“按次收费”
Cloudflare blocks AI crawlers by default (2025-07), launched Pay Per Crawl, bought the data marketplace Human Native (2026-01), and added Pay Per Use, paying when content is used in an answer (2026-07). RSL 1.0 gives crawlers a licence file to read.Cloudflare 默认屏蔽 AI 爬虫(2025-07),推出按次付费爬取,收购数据交易平台 Human Native(2026-01),又推出“按使用付费”——内容被用进 AI 回答时付钱(2026-07)。RSL 1.0 让爬虫有授权文件可读。
DOPut your site behind Cloudflare, set Content Signals, add an RSL file. Decide deliberately whether you want AI search visibility.网站接入 Cloudflare,设置内容信号,加一个 RSL 文件。想不想在 AI 搜索里被看到,要主动决定。
Training data has a price tag训练数据有了价格
About $3,000 per book in the Anthropic settlement; the Ross ruling shows copying to build a competitor is not fair use; publisher and label licensing deals keep coming.Anthropic 和解约每本书 3,000 美元;Ross 案说明为做竞品而复制不算合理使用;出版社与唱片公司的授权交易持续增加。
DORegister your key works (it decides whether you are in the class next time). Treat your archive as a licensable dataset.关键作品去登记(下次集体诉讼你在不在名单里取决于此)。把你的作品库当成可授权的数据集来经营。
Mandatory AI labels everywhereAI 标识全面强制化
China (2025-09), YouTube auto-labels (2026-05), New York ads (2026-06), EU (2026-08). C2PA Content Credentials ship by default on cameras like the Pixel 10, though most platforms still strip them.中国(2025-09)、YouTube 自动标注(2026-05)、纽约广告(2026-06)、欧盟(2026-08)。C2PA 内容凭证已在 Pixel 10 等相机默认开启,但多数平台仍会抹掉。
DOSelf-declare AI use on every platform. Label what is real too: "shot on camera" content gains trust value.在每个平台主动申报 AI 使用。真实拍摄的也标出来:“实拍”会越来越有信任价值。
Your face and voice become IP脸和声音成为新的 IP
YouTube likeness detection opened to all creators 18+ (2026-05-18). The US NO FAKES Act cleared Senate Judiciary (2026-06) but is not law. Denmark's face-and-voice copyright bill was not confirmed passed. Tennessee and California already protect voice and digital replicas.YouTube 肖像检测向所有 18 岁以上创作者开放(2026-05-18)。美国 NO FAKES 法案过了参议院司法委员会(2026-06),尚未成法。丹麦“脸和声音版权”法案未确认通过。田纳西、加州已保护声音与数字分身。
DOEnrol in likeness detection. Add a "no digital twin without consent" clause to every brand deal. Consider licensing your own voice clone on your terms.开通肖像检测。每份品牌合同加“未经同意不得做数字分身”条款。可以考虑按自己的条件授权自己的声音克隆。
Platforms quietly take training rights平台悄悄拿走训练权
TikTok (2026-07) and X (2026-01) wrote AI training into their terms; Meta trains on public EU posts.TikTok(2026-07)、X(2026-01)把 AI 训练写进条款;Meta 用欧盟公开帖训练。
DOOwn the master: your domain, your newsletter, your course platform. Social platforms get excerpts.母版留在自己手里:自己的域名、邮件列表、课程平台。社交平台只发节选。
Open source swings back, with guardrails开源回摆,但加了护栏
Redis returned to open source via AGPL (2025-05); "fair source" licences like FSL let indie SaaS publish code without being cloned.Redis 通过 AGPL 回归开源(2025-05);FSL 等“公平源码”许可让独立 SaaS 能公开代码又不怕被抄。
DOLibraries: MIT. A SaaS you sell: FSL or AGPL. Write it in the README from day one.工具库用 MIT;要卖的 SaaS 用 FSL 或 AGPL。第一天就写进 README。

DODon't build your business on a single AI tool or token. Base it on rights you hold and contracts you signed.别把生意押在某个 AI 工具或代币上。地基是你持有的权利和签下的合同。
Fees and filing rules are tightening费用与申请规则在收紧
US copyright fees rise ~43% around mid-November 2026; USPTO restructured trademark fees in 2025; China's new Trademark Law (2027-01-01) punishes hoarding and bad faith.美国版权登记费约 2026 年 11 月中旬上调约 43%;美国商标局 2025 年改了收费;中国新商标法(2027-01-01)惩治囤积和恶意注册。
