AI music eligibility and rights

Overview

RT AI Distribution is designed for eligible AI-generated music. Eligibility depends on your rights, the tools you used, the content itself and the requirements of distribution partners. All releases remain subject to rights verification, content eligibility, review and distribution-partner requirements.

Rights and ownership

You must be able to confirm that you hold, or are authorised to grant, all rights needed to distribute the release. This includes:

• Rights in the composition, lyrics and recording as applicable.
• Permissions for any samples, loops, stems or third-party material.
• Permission from every contributor named on the release.

AI-generated content

You may be asked to say which AI tools were used and how. Do not submit music that copies or closely reproduces existing recordings or compositions, even if an AI tool generated it.

Commercial-use permissions

Each AI tool has its own terms. Some plans or tools may not allow commercial use or distribution. You are responsible for confirming that the terms of every tool you used permit commercial distribution of your release, and for keeping evidence of that permission.

Voice and likeness

Music that imitates or impersonates the voice, likeness or identifiable style-signature of a real person without their authorisation is not eligible. This includes cloned or sound-alike vocals presented as, or likely to be mistaken for, a real artist.

Content eligibility

Review and verification

Releases may be reviewed, delayed, rejected or removed if they do not meet this policy or distribution-partner requirements. See the Copyright Policy for infringement reports and the Terms & Conditions. Questions? Contact us.
