And I'll be honest—I'm expecting heat (and trolling) from the creative AI community.

Here's the reality:

I'm 𝗣𝗥𝗢-𝗔𝗜. I use AI daily and have been for 6-7 years. 

I can offer between 25-40% time/cost savings with AI-assisted workflows.

But I also just spent 2 months researching:

- UK High Court rulings

- EU AI Act penalties (€35M)

- 40+ AI tool Terms of Service

- Which platforms can counter-sue YOU

Because here's what nobody's talking about:

The November 2025 UK ruling everyone's celebrating? It made AI legal in the UK.

It didn't make it SAFE.

𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 = 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱?

Adobe Firefly indemnifies you globally if copyright claims arise (for enterprise level users only as do a very small handfull of other Gan-AI platforms)

Midjourney's ToS lets them counter-sue you!

Same AI. Different legal reality.

So I built a three-tier system:

 • 𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗥 𝟭: AI-assisted tools (standard rates, zero risk)

 • 𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗥 𝟮: Safe generative AI (25% discount, full indemnification)

 • 𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗥 𝟯: UK-legal models (35% discount, UK-only, no indemnification)

My question for other creatives:

I'm not limiting creative freedom. 

I'm protecting businesses, both mine and my clients'.

Am I being paranoid? Or just prepared?

Let me know what you think. (Even if you think I'm overthinking this.)
