Generated music rights

To the extent intellectual-property and contractual rights exist and can lawfully be retained, Paperwhales retains those rights in music generated through this service, including generated recordings and generated musical elements. Making a request or appearing as its creator does not transfer those rights to you.

This does not take ownership of your pre-existing lyrics, writing or recordings, or override third-party rights. Purely AI-generated material may have no copyright protection in some jurisdictions. We do not promise exclusive ownership, a copyright registration, or that every output is free of third-party claims.

You may listen, save a copy where the service offers a download, and use generated music for private, personal, non-commercial enjoyment. This permission is non-exclusive and non-transferable. Sharing a link to the Paperwhales creation is permitted.

Without separate written permission, do not sell or sublicense recordings, distribute them to music services, monetize them, use them in advertising or client work, register them with Content ID or a rights-management service, or claim exclusive authorship or ownership. Public reuse beyond sharing a Paperwhales link requires permission. Any permission remains subject to law and valid third-party claims.

All finished music created here is eligible for selection, editing, public playback and broadcasting on Paperwhales live YouTube, its radio station and other Paperwhales live channels. Broadcasts may be archived, replayed or excerpted. Paperwhales decides its programming; creation does not guarantee airtime, a permanent listing, payment or royalties.

When a creation includes your original submitted words, the public-creation license in Terms of use covers using those words as part of that song and its broadcast. Do not include confidential or sensitive personal information. Sharing a song is separate from consent to transmit your camera or microphone.

Music may be removed, replaced or made unavailable, including for rights or safety concerns or service management. Keep a permitted personal copy if you need one. A removed file may still appear in an earlier broadcast archive or third-party copy; we will assess valid removal requests and legal obligations, but cannot recall material already heard or guarantee deletion from independent recipients.

If you believe a song uses your protected work or identity unlawfully, send a rights report through Contact & reporting with the creation link, the work or identity concerned, and your explanation. Do not issue false rights claims. Commercial licensing requests also belong there.
