Have anyone tried converting their book cover from ebook to paperback, hardback, acx using AI? If so, what tool did you use? And what was the result?

Most authors worry about piracy. But there's a much more dangerous threat: Copyright Weaponization. On Amazon, your original content isn't just an asset - it's a vulnerability. Bad-faith actors are now using Amazon's own "Safe Harbor" tools to sabotage legitimate creators. Here is how the "Strategic Sabotage" loop works and how to protect your account. The Trap: "Guilty Until Proven Innocent" Amazon operates under a "notice-and-takedown" regime. Because they want to avoid legal liability, their systems are hard-wired to: - Act First, Verify Later: They remove content immediately upon a claim, favoring the claimant by default. - Shift the Burden: You are forced to "prove a negative" (that you didn’t steal your own work), usually within a 5-7 day window. - Automated Bias: AI bots handle these claims. If a bot sees a similarity, you get the "strike" - even if the other person stole from you. Tactics to Watch For - "Ghost" Content: Thieves using your manuscripts or scrape your "Look Inside" preview, publish it themselves, and then report you for plagiarism. - Retaliatory Strikes: If you report a copycat, they file a false counterclaim against you, resulting in a "confidentiality deadlock" where both accounts are suspended. - Trademark Trolling: Bad actors trademark common phrases used in titles (e.g., "Mamma Bear" or specific niche keywords) to retroactively wipe out top-selling competitors. Your Defensive Checklist To survive the "copycat era," you need a defense-first workflow. Don't wait for a strike to happen: 1. Register with the USCO: A formal Federal Copyright Registration is your "Silver Bullet." 2. Use Independent Witnesses: Services that provide digital timestamps are available. This creates an indisputable record that your work existed before the thief's version. 3. Keep the "Paper" Trail: Always save your original layered files (PSD, AI) and early manuscript drafts. Flattened PDFs or Canva receipts are often rejected as "low-weight" evidence.

Some people prefer to have all video materials in one place – on YouTube. This is for them.
