COPYRIGHT & AI IP POLICY

LAST UPDATED: FEBRUARY 6, 2026

1. Evolving Legal Standards & Platform Compliance

The legal framework governing artificial intelligence and intellectual property rights is evolving rapidly and varies significantly by jurisdiction.

KAIDRON TV aligns its policies with current industry standards and applicable laws but reserves the right to update requirements, eligibility criteria, or remove content as legal interpretations, regulatory frameworks, or ethical standards develop globally.

Immediate Compliance Requirement:
Regardless of future legal developments, all uploaded content must comply with the current license terms of the AI service providers used. Content generated using free, trial, or non-commercial tiers that do not explicitly permit public or commercial distribution is strictly prohibited.

2. Artist Representations (18+ Only)

By uploading content to KAIDRON TV, you represent and warrant that:

2.1 Age & Capacity

  • You are at least 18 years of age
  • You possess full legal capacity to grant licenses and make binding representations

2.2 AI Tool Licensing

  • You hold a verifiable, active commercial license from each AI tool used (e.g. Suno, Udio, Runway)
  • Your subscription tier permits third-party platform distribution
  • License Tier Rules (Non-Exhaustive):
    • Suno Free Plan: Strictly prohibited
    • Suno Pro / Premier: Permitted with active subscription
    • Udio Free Tier: Prohibited
    • Udio Paid Tiers: Permitted with verification

2.3 Limited Ownership & Rights Acknowledgment

You acknowledge that:

  • AI service providers retain ownership of their models and may assert rights in generated outputs
  • Your rights in AI-generated content are limited to the usage rights granted by the provider’s Terms of Service
  • Copyright protection for AI-generated works may be limited, unavailable, or jurisdiction-dependent
  • Uploading AI-generated content may carry an increased risk of third-party copying
  • Human prompt creation, arrangement, or creative direction does not guarantee copyright protection

Artist-Composed Works: Should the work incorporate lyrics, melodies, or arrangements composed by you (the Artist), you affirm that you have not transferred the associated public performance or mechanical reproduction rights to any PRO or collecting society. You retain the responsibility for ensuring that the public streaming of this work via KAIDRON TV does not trigger any licensing obligations on the part of the platform.

2.4 No Infringement

You represent that your content:

  • Does not infringe third-party copyrights, trademarks, or rights of publicity
  • Does not misappropriate protected voices, likenesses, or identities
  • Was not generated using AI tools in violation of their applicable license terms

3. Strict Prohibitions

3.1 Deepfakes & Voice Cloning (Zero Tolerance)

Unauthorized use of recognizable voices or likenesses of real persons—living or deceased—is strictly prohibited without express written consent. This includes AI-generated vocal performances designed to imitate identifiable individuals.

3.2 Training Data & Tool Compliance

You must not upload content generated using AI tools where you know or reasonably should know that the output violates applicable laws or the provider’s license terms regarding training data usage.

3.3 License Tier Violations

The following content is strictly prohibited:

  • Any content generated using free or trial tiers lacking public or commercial distribution rights
  • Content generated under expired or lapsed subscriptions

4.3. AI-Specific Evaluation

When assessing copyright claims involving AI-generated content, we may consider:

  • Whether the claimant holds valid copyright in the allegedly infringed work
  • Whether the uploaded content is eligible for copyright protection
  • The AI tool and license tier used
  • The good-faith conduct of all parties

KAIDRON TV does not adjudicate ownership disputes and makes no determination of ultimate legal liability.

5. AI Content Labeling & Transparency

All uploads must retain required technical metadata identifying AI assistance.

You must:

  • Disclose the AI tool and subscription tier used during upload
  • Not remove or manipulate AI-related metadata or watermarks

False disclosure or metadata manipulation results in immediate content removal and may lead to account penalties.

These requirements support compliance with current and upcoming AI transparency obligations, including applicable EU regulations.
