Who owns your song?
The question every AI music company hopes you won’t ask. Here’s the straight answer.
The straight answer
Nobody owns a traditional copyright in an AI-generated recording — not you, not us, and not the sites that promise you “full ownership” anyway. That is current U.S. law, and anyone selling you otherwise is selling paper that does not exist.
The words are a different matter, and we would rather say so than let one sentence cover two things. A person writes and reworks every lyric here, line by line, and a person makes the final call on every line that ships. What a person actually wrote is an ordinary piece of writing and is protected like one. What the machine makes of it afterwards is the part nobody can own.
So we do not sell ownership. We sell something better defined: a permanent, written license that says exactly what you can do with your song — and a certificate with your name on it.
Where we sit
There are two ordinary ways to buy a song. A generator will make you one in thirty seconds for thirty or forty dollars, and nobody — not you, not them, not anyone — can own a word of it. A songwriter will write you one from scratch for a few hundred dollars and anywhere from four days to a month, and at the end there is a real copyright in it.
We are the third thing, and we would rather describe it plainly than dress it up. The music and the voice are made by AI. Everything above them is a person: the words, the rewrites, which of six takes is the one, and whether any of them is good enough to send at all. Nothing reaches you that a person has not listened to and decided on.
That is the whole difference, and it is why there is something here a person actually wrote — which is the only part of any song made this way that the law protects. You do not have to take that on faith. Press play on anything on this site.
What you hold — five protections
1. An irrevocable license
We can never take your song back, downgrade what you bought, or re-sell your song to someone else. The exclusivity wall runs both ways — you're bound to your uses, and we're bound to you.
2. A certificate, not a checkout email
A signed document naming you, your song, and your rights — plain English, printable, made to be kept.
3. Exclusivity
Your song never appears in our catalog and never goes to streaming — unless YOU choose to release it, on your terms, through the published upgrade.
4. Your story stays yours
What you share in the intake makes your song and nothing else.
5. The license outlives us
If MusAIc closed tomorrow, your files are on your devices and your license doesn't expire. Nothing you bought depends on our lights staying on.
You get the WAV. Almost nobody does.
A song commissioned for you arrives as both — the WAV master and an MP3. The MP3 is the copy that travels: your phone, a text to your sister, the car. The WAV is the studio file itself.
Which is worth knowing the price of. Everything on the shelf here already existed before you arrived — records ~MAK or another artist finished without anybody asking for them. Buy one and it comes as an MP3, the same as it would from any store, and the MP3 is the only form it is sold in. The WAV master of a catalogue record is not for sale at any price, to anybody. The only way anyone ever gets one is by being the person the song was written for. Most places sell everyone the identical file whether they’re a stranger or the subject. We don’t.
What we keep, and why
This is the paragraph other shops would hide, so we will say it in daylight. After your license, rights remain in every song — chiefly the lyric, which is written work with a human author. We keep them. Here is the honest why.
Held one song at a time they protect nobody. Nobody runs copyright registrations, Content ID and takedowns over a single song — it costs more than the song will ever make. Concentrated with the studio they become machinery. So if someone steals your song, tell us: because we hold what remains, nobody on earth has more standing to stop them than we do, and we can register the work, file takedowns and pursue unauthorised use in ways an individual customer never could. That is the point of the structure.
Automated YouTube Content ID monitoring is an add-on we switch on per song when a catalog earns it — ask where yours stands.
We hold what remains for the relationship. Your irrevocable license bounds what we can ever do with it.
Want more rights later?
Your song stays private and yours by default. That costs nothing and never expires.
Out in the world is the one purchase that changes it: mastered, artwork, metadata, disclosure, delivered to the streaming platforms and to the store here, splits set up, and you may perform it publicly.
From then on, what it earns is split with us down the middle — half of what actually lands, after the platform takes its cut. That is agreed before a word of the song is written, never added once money appears. And if you’d rather hold the whole thing yourself, you can buy our half out.
Every one of those steps has a price on the pricing page. None of them is a negotiation and none of them is a phone call — you decide if and when, and the number does not move because of who is asking. Binding language in the terms.
This page is the plain-English companion to our Terms & Licensing — the Terms are the binding document, and they say the same things in longer sentences.
