AI Policy
AI POLICY
Platforms and Collecting Societies are currently operating on the basis that they do not accept 100% Ai-Generated Works, but will accept Ai -Assisted Works (Ai used in part of the composition), provided that this is labelled as such and identified as having used the Ai technology. As such, we have the following policy in place when accepting compositions for distribution to platforms:
Definitions:
AI-Assisted Works:
- These works are eligible for copyright protection, provided sufficient creative choices have been made.
- Ai is considered a tool.
AI-Generated Works:
- Works created solely from prompts, without further creative input, do not qualify for copyright protection.
The following types of works are NOT accepted to be distributed by My Client Zone, and they should not be submitted through our technology.
- 100% Ai-Generated Works
- Deep fakes
- Works that feature manipulation of unauthorised sounds, voices or sound alikes.
AI-Assisted Works are accepted provided that:
- You / your clients have permission to use the AI technology and have entered into a license to allow you to use the AI technology.
- You / your clients have checked that the provider of the AI technology has the rights to license its use to. You can do this by ensuring any AI tools or elements are from a reputable source.
- You / your clients have identified to us which part of the musical work features the AI technology.
It is important to note that we cannot distribute any AI-Assisted or AI-Generated musical works to Content ID platforms (including but not limited to YouTube Content ID, Meta, SoundCloud Content ID, AudibleMagic, SoundExchange, and TikTok/Bytedance) due to their policies.
It is essential that artists keep themselves protected from legal claims, which can come about following unauthorised or inappropriate use of AI.
Please Note:
This is still very much a new area of development within the music industry and platforms, distributors and governments may change their stance or add restrictions on use of AI music. Digital Service Providers (DSP’s) still retain the right to reject songs or refuse to pay royalties where they feel the use of AI has been inappropriate.
