Introduction

This Copyright Policy explains how Musci.io handles copyright, user uploads, AI-generated music, takedown requests, counter-notices, and repeat infringement. It works together with our AI Music Policy, DMCA Policy, and Terms of Service.

This policy is not legal advice. Copyright rules vary by country, by platform, and by the amount of human authorship in a work.

Your Responsibility

You are responsible for the content you submit to Musci.io and the way you use generated output. You must not upload, prompt with, transform, distribute, or claim rights in material unless you own it or have the permissions required for your intended use.

This applies to:

Lyrics, poems, scripts, and text prompts.
Melodies, chord progressions, arrangements, stems, samples, loops, and sound recordings.
Vocals, voice recordings, persona data, artist names, and likeness.
Cover songs, remixes, interpolations, adaptations, and derivative works.
Artwork, images, metadata, titles, and release credits.

AI-Generated Music and Copyrightability

Musci.io may grant platform usage rights for generated output, but we do not guarantee that any AI-generated work is copyrightable in any jurisdiction. Some copyright offices and courts may require human authorship or may limit protection for purely machine-generated material.

You should document your creative contributions, inputs, edits, arrangement choices, lyrics, production decisions, and other human authorship if you intend to claim copyright or release commercially.

Platform License vs. Copyright Ownership

Musci.io license receipts are evidence of the platform policy snapshot and your user declaration. They are not:

Copyright registrations.
Assignments of third-party rights.
Proof that uploaded inputs were cleared.
Guarantees that DSPs, distributors, social platforms, or courts will accept your claim.

If a track uses third-party material, you may need additional licenses even if Musci.io marks the platform workflow as commercially allowed.

Prohibited Copyright Uses

You may not use Musci.io to:

Copy or recreate a copyrighted song, recording, melody, lyric, or arrangement without permission.
Upload stems, acapellas, instrumentals, samples, or recordings you do not have rights to use.
Create unauthorized covers, remixes, interpolations, or derivative works.
Claim ownership of another person's work.
Register generated tracks with Content ID or similar systems without the rights needed to control those claims.
Use misleading metadata, artist names, titles, credits, or release information.

Covers, Remixes, and Derivative Works

If you create a cover, remix, interpolation, adaptation, or other derivative work, you are responsible for the required rights. Depending on the use, those rights may include mechanical licensing, synchronization licensing, master recording clearance, publishing clearance, performer consent, or other permissions.

Musci.io may block or manually review cover, stem, voice, uploaded audio, and unclear-source workflows before allowing download, release, promotion, or distribution.

Takedown Requests

If you believe content on Musci.io infringes your copyright, send a notice through the process in our DMCA Policy. We may remove or restrict the content while we review the notice.

We may reject incomplete notices, abusive notices, automated bulk notices without sufficient detail, or notices that do not identify the allegedly infringing material.

Counter-Notices

If your content was removed because of a copyright complaint and you believe the removal was mistaken or misidentified, you may submit a counter-notice under our DMCA Policy. We may restore content if the counter-notice is valid and the claimant does not take further legal action within the required period.

Repeat Infringer Policy

Musci.io may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe copyright or repeatedly submit content with unresolved rights risk. We may also restrict downloads, release workflows, distribution workflows, public sharing, or promotional access.
