Music licensing & AI rights

You retain rights you hold in human-authored lyrics, arrangements, performances, recordings and artwork you supply. You must clear co-writers, samples, trademarks, voices, personal likenesses and other third-party material before uploading or releasing it. A prompt asking for another person's style does not give you their catalogue, identity, endorsement or performance rights.

Current music generation uses Google Lyria through the Lovable AI Gateway. Text and artwork may use other model providers. Outputs can resemble other outputs and may not be unique. Providing prompts alone does not establish U.S. copyright in machine-determined expression; sufficiently human-authored contributions may qualify separately, depending on the facts and applicable law.

Downloading a track, paying credits or receiving a platform certificate does not guarantee copyright registration, originality, non-infringement, royalties, collecting-society eligibility or enforceable exclusivity against third parties. Keep records of your own creative contributions and disclose AI-generated material when a distributor, registry or law requires it.

Subject to applicable provider agreements, rights you hold and any transaction-specific restrictions, you may use generated outputs for your own projects to the extent Music Equity Group LLC is entitled to permit that use. This permission is limited to available rights; it does not create copyright in otherwise unprotected material or waive third-party rights.

Google's published Lyria documentation permits commercial uses subject to the governing agreement. That does not by itself verify unrestricted standalone-track resale or sublicensing through our provider chain. The precise downstream commercial/resale rights require confirmation before relying on them for a paid release or marketplace sale. We do not represent that every generated song is cleared for exclusive resale, ‘royalty-free’ in every context or eligible for automated content-identification systems.

Before commercial distribution or selling a song, request written confirmation of the applicable output permissions from support@muziq.co, disclose intended use and clear any rights your project requires. Do not register non-exclusive or unprotectable output in a system that falsely claims exclusive control over others' material.

A KOOK listing offers a complete exclusive transfer of all transferable song rights the seller actually controls, not a non-exclusive lease. Sellers must identify the song correctly, confirm authority to sell, disclose AI-generated portions and restrictions, and must not sell rights already assigned or encumbered. Prior licences, collaborations and provider restrictions must be resolved or disclosed before review.

Artist-inspired generation is not a recording made by that artist. Do not market a generated beat as a Scott Storch personal production or attach a third party's signature or endorsement without permission. Platform review does not replace legal clearance and cannot grant rights the seller lacks.

Once the platform verifies successful payment and completes the sale, the song moves from seller-held inventory to the buyer's private Library. The intended transfer covers the seller's transferable rights in the identified recording, composition/lyrics and associated artwork only to the extent those rights are controlled and included; excluded or third-party rights cannot pass by implication. Mandatory writing/signature formalities and transaction-specific agreements may still be required.

The seller must stop making new grants inconsistent with a completed exclusive transfer and must not resell the same rights. The buyer must comply with surviving provider restrictions, disclosed prior obligations and third-party rights. A song's appearance in Liked or Recent creations does not confer ownership or a right to reuse it. Kooki playback likewise does not license another family's music or personal information.

Both parties can download a KOOK-branded PDF recording the issuing seller, receiving buyer, identified song and platform transaction. It is evidence of the platform-recorded transfer of available rights, not a government copyright registration, legal opinion, third-party clearance or guarantee that machine-generated portions can be protected.

If a certificate, listing or payment record is incorrect, email support@muziq.co with the transaction reference. A disputed or refunded sale can require a separate rights remedy; do not assume a cash reversal automatically resolves the licence. Where required, use a separately executed agreement identifying human-authored rights and any exclusions.

Report suspected infringement to support@muziq.co using the Copyright complaints procedure in Acceptable use. We may restrict a listing while reviewing a substantiated claim. Professional advice may be necessary before release, registration, collecting royalties or an exclusive transfer.
