How the Music & Audio Rights gate works

This tool grades an AI-generated audio asset against the rights your use needs. It reads 4 rights checks and rolls them into one verdict — the worst, never the average — then a gate that can only make it worse.

The verdict is the worst of the rights checks, never the average. Using an AI track commercially without commercial rights — or imitating a real artist — is RELICENSE regardless of how the other checks read: a platform's generation license is not a commercial license, and copyright is not a usage license.

RELICENSE

Why: The track doesn't imitate a real artist and you're not trying to register it — those checks read clear. But you're running a free-tier AI track in a paid ad, and the free tier doesn't grant commercial rights to the output. The worst check wins, so it's RELICENSE: a generation license isn't a commercial license. free-tier license · commercial (paid-ad) use · worst-of, not average.

Fix firstCommercial rights for the use — the free tier doesn't grant commercial rights to the output. Recreate it under a plan that grants commercial rights (active at generation time), or license it properly, before running it in a paid ad.

Most rights checks can read clear — but the verdict is the worst one, never the average: a free-tier track in a paid ad is RELICENSE however clean the rest is, because a generation license isn’t a commercial license. The roll-up takes the worst check regardless of the score and names the one thing to fix first. US-focused general information, not legal advice. AI-music copyright is evolving — verify the current U.S. Copyright Office position; a platform's generation license is not the same as owning the copyright or holding a commercial usage license. Confirm rights with the rights-holder or counsel.
