AI Music Chính sách

1. Tổng quan

ToneGrid recognises that AI tools are a legitimate Và increasingly important part of modern music production. From AI mastering Và melody generation to fully synthetic thành phầns, cáise tools offer mới creative possibilities for artists Và nhãns worldwide.

We welcome AI-tạo ra Và AI-assisted music on our platform, provided it meets our content standards, disclosure requirements, Và DSP guidelines. However, cái evolving legal Và commercial landscape around AI-tạo ra content means that certain restrictions apply — most notably in cases where the AI tool itself has không properly secured the underlying rights required to commercialise its output.

2. Những gì chúng tôi chấp nhận

ToneGrid accepts any of the following, subject to tất cả other conditions in this Chính sách:

• AI-assisted music — human-created music that uses AI tools for elements such as mastering, stem separation, mixing, sound thiết kế, melody suggestion, lyric assistance, or arrangement. The human creative contribution remains primary.
• AI-tạo ra music with human curation — music where the primary sonic content is AI-tạo ra, but the human contributor has made meaningful creative decisions, including selection, arrangement, Và post-production.
• Fully synthetic AI thành phầns — music tạo ra entirely by AI tools from platforms that have obtained proper licensing Và rights clearances for commercial phân bổ. The distributor (Client) must own or have been assigned tất cả rights to commercialise the output.

3. Restrictions & General Exclusions

The following are prohibited regardless of the AI tool used:

• AI music that reproduces, samples, or đóngly imitates the voice, performance, or distinctive style of a specific real artist without their explicit consent
• AI music that uses training data derived from bản quyềned recordings without appropriate licences from the rights holders
• Mis-attributed AI music — presenting fully AI-tạo ra content as if performed by a human artist without disclosure
• AI-tạo ra content used to flood DSP catalogues with low-quality or near-identical releases for the purpose of suốiing fraud
• Content from AI platforms that are subject to active, unresolved legal disputes with major rights organisations where commercialisation has been explicitly restricted

4. Suno AI — Excluded Nền tảng

ToneGrid does không currently accept music tạo ra using Suno AI để phân phối thông qua nền tảng của chúng tôi, vì những lý do sau:

• Unresolved Merlin licensing. Suno AI has không entered into a proper licensing agreement with Merlin, cái global digital rights agency representing thousands of independent nhãns Và distributors worldwide. Merlin members collectively account for a significant proportion of the music in Suno’s training data, Và no commercial deal has been signed to licence that use.
• Kiện tụng tích cực. Major record nhãns Và industry nhóm have filed legal action against Suno AI, alleging that its training process infringed bản quyềned recordings without consent or compensation. Until these disputes are resolved Và appropriate licensing is in place, cái commercial status of Suno’s output remains legally uncertain.
• DSP risk. Distributing content with an unresolved rights basis exposes our Clients, End Users, Và ToneGrid to takedown risk, royalty clawbacks, Và account suspension by DSP partners.

Hạn chế này áp dụng cụ thể cho nội dung tạo ra by Suno AI. It does không apply to music about Suno, commentary on AI music, or any other content that merely references Suno as a topic.

ToneGrid will review this position if Suno AI enters into a satisfactory licensing agreement with Merlin Và resolves outstanding litigation with rights holders. We will update this Chính sách accordingly.
