Uploading AI music (= created with the help of artificial intelligence) is currently permitted. Of course, the voices of well-known artists may not be imitated. Popular providers for music production are, for example, Suno, AIVA or Amper Music.
If your songs are AI-generated, please make sure that you have the appropriate rights to distribute the release in accordance with the provider's terms of use. In most cases, this is only possible with a paid Pro version. Proof of this is therefore mandatory.
You can send us the relevant licence or other proof (e.g. payment confirmation / paid invoice) of the AI subscription to [email protected] so that we can note validity and subscription period in your account.
Please note that AI-generated tracks may infringe copyrights regardless of the model used (even retrospectively) and that you are responsible for any infringements.
Copyright and AI
In the case of AI-generated music, the question arises as to whether the AI can be considered the creator or whether the rights lie with the developer of the AI, the user or nobody.
Many AI models are trained with large amounts of music data, which may be protected by copyright. If the AI generates music that contains elements of this training data, this could lead to legal conflicts, especially if the generated music has similarities with existing copyrighted works.
These facts and uncertainties make copyright in AI-generated music a complex and evolving issue that continues to fuel legal and ethical discussions.
