Summary
Taylor Swift moved to trademark her voice and image as AI threats grow. That's not vanity — it's the opening shot of the identity-as-IP era. The legal framework for being a person is about to get expensive. Three new industries are forming: biometric IP filing, deepfake takedown services, 'verified human' subscriptions. Combined market in 5 years: $50B+. The catch — it's all built for people who can already afford lawyers. Everyone else is training data.
