UK Copyright Law Reference

Under the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (Section 9(3)), "the author of a computer-generated work shall be taken to be the person by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the work are undertaken." As the user providing prompts and creative direction, you are considered the author of AI-generated works under UK law.

2. What "Commercial License" Includes

  • Release on all major streaming platforms
  • Film, TV, advertising, and video game sync licensing
  • Live performances, DJ sets, and club play
  • YouTube, TikTok, Instagram monetization
  • Sample packs and preset sales (your productions only)
  • NFT and digital collectible sales
  • Perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free usage

Distribution to streaming platforms: Your commercial licence includes the right to distribute AI-generated tracks to streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, etc.) via third-party distributors. However, this licence does not guarantee acceptance by any platform. Each streaming service has its own policies on AI-generated content, which may change without notice. You are responsible for complying with each platform's requirements, including AI disclosure obligations.

Territorial Copyright Variations

The legal status of AI-generated music varies by jurisdiction. The UK recognises copyright in computer-generated works (CDPA 1988 s.9(3)), but other territories — including the US, EU, and Australia — may not offer the same protections. If you distribute internationally, you should seek independent legal advice regarding copyright protection in your target markets.

3. Limitations & Disclaimers

No Copyright Guarantee

While AI-generated music is generally considered original work, we cannot guarantee that outputs will not inadvertently resemble existing copyrighted works. AI models are trained on existing music, and coincidental similarities may occur. You are responsible for clearing any potential conflicts before commercial release.

Sonic Style References: Describing tracks using sonic descriptors (e.g., "raw warehouse tech house, rolling bassline") generates original music inspired by that aesthetic, not reproductions. The output is your original work, but marketing claims should avoid suggesting endorsement or official association with any specific artist.

Platform IP: muzeme.io retains all rights to our platform, software, algorithms, branding, and technology. Your license covers generated content, not our platform or tools.

4. Sample Upload Policy

When uploading audio to our platform (vocals, reference loops), you must:

  • Only upload original recordings you created
  • Or royalty-free samples you have license to use (Splice, Loopmasters, etc.)
  • Never upload copyrighted vocals, recordings, or samples without proper clearance

Important: Uploading copyrighted content without permission violates our terms and may result in account termination. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have rights to any uploaded audio.

5. DMCA & Takedown Procedure

If you believe content on our platform infringes your copyright, please send a DMCA takedown notice to dmca@muzeme.io including:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work allegedly infringed
  • Identification of the allegedly infringing content on our platform
  • Your contact information
  • Statement of good faith belief
  • Statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury
  • Physical or electronic signature

We will investigate valid claims and may remove content or disable accounts found to infringe copyright. Counter-notices may be submitted if you believe removal was in error.

6. Third-Party Content

Our AI generates original music based on prompts and style references. The underlying AI models were trained on licensed data. Generated outputs are new compositions, not reproductions of training data. However, the nature of AI generation means we cannot guarantee complete uniqueness or absence of similarity to existing works.
