The music industry is evolving rapidly, and one of the most significant shifts in recent years has been the rise of generative AI technology in music creation. As AI tools become more accessible, their usage in composing, producing, and modifying music is increasing. This technological advancement brings both exciting opportunities and potential challenges, particularly in the areas of copyright, ownership, and compliance with digital service provider (DSP) policies.

To proactively address these concerns, we are implementing an AI music usage disclosure requirement. This step ensures transparency, helps manage potential copyright risks, and positions us to comply with emerging regulations and DSP guidelines.

What This Means for You

You will be asked during the release distribution process to indicate whether generative AI was used in your audio files or artwork. This will apply to all new releases submitted for distribution. This new requirement is designed to be seamless and will not impact the speed of your upload process.

We recognize that AI-related laws and industry standards are still developing. By implementing this disclosure requirement, we aim to ensure that we can quickly adapt to any regulatory changes while supporting our clients in navigating this evolving landscape.

If you have any questions about this new requirement, please reach out to our support@label-engine.com.
