Copyright doesn't protect you from "future competition" in the sense meant here of competition from other works. | ||||||||

Copyright protects you from market substitutions (e.g. someone taking your IP, and offering an alternative to your work). Being trained on your IP, it could certainly be argued that users would no longer need to purchase your book. "Future competition" is a loosely worded way of saying this. | ||||||||
