Why should I obtain a license in connection with my AI-Generated Music?

  • No fear of intellectual property infringement.  Music generated using AI raises a plethora of legal concerns.  From potential copyright infringement to violations of an individual’s right of publicity, failure to obtain a license may open you up to legal liability.  Rather than risk it, let our music attorneys help you obtain the proper licenses so you can release your AI-Generated Music with peace of mind.

  • Timely exploitation of your music.  The use of AI in music has got the attention of major record labels, the U.S. Copyright Office, Congress, and more.  Rather than letting your music sit on a shelf while waiting for the lawmakers to determine how to regulate AI, you could be releasing your AI-Generated Music now by obtaining the proper licenses. 

Why should I work with an attorney to obtain licenses for my AI-Generated Music rather than doing it myself?

  • Less mess, less stress.  Our music attorneys have experience obtaining a wide range of licenses.  Although the use of AI in music is relatively new, the underlying licenses required to exploit such AI-Generated Music are not.  Rather than trying to figure out how to navigate the legal landscape alone, let us help you with the licensing process.

FAQs

  • What is AI-Generated Music?  AI-Generated Music is music that was created using artificial intelligence tools.  Such tools can manipulate voices, clone voices, emulate musical styles, compose music, and more.  Generally, there are a number of algorithms that exist to “train” an AI program to create new music that sounds like a particular artist, genre, or style.

  • What are the legal implications of releasing my AI-Generated Music without a license?  There are a number of rights involved when creating music using AI.  In addition to concerns in connection with the content used to create your AI-Generated Music (e.g., underlying musical compositions, sound recordings, and artists’ likenesses and/or voices), there are also concerns in connection with the so-called “source material” (i.e., the content and data used to train AI software).  Failure to obtain the proper licenses for each area of concern could potentially open you up to liability for copyright infringement, violation of an individual’s right of publicity, trademark infringement, and more.

  • If there are so many legal concerns, what is the benefit of AI-Generated Music?  Despite the potential legal hurdles, AI can be a useful tool in creating music!  Whether it’s being used to assist in production or to create new music inspired by your favorite artist, the benefits of AI have the potential to outweigh the concerns, provided that all involved parties’ rights are properly cleared.  Rather than stifling this new form of technology, we aim to provide a license structure that allows creators to utilize the technology to their benefit.  Find out more about how we can help by scheduling an initial inquiry meeting.
