This Content Policy applies to all content delivered by you to any digital service provider (DSP).
Violations of this Content Policy may result in removal of releases, withholding of royalties, and/or suspension or termination of your account. Persistent or repeated violations may lead to further action.
This list will be updated as necessary to protect our deals with the music platforms.
You can't distribute:
AI-Generated Content
You can't distribute AI-generated content that is wholly or primarily generated by AI models trained on copyright-protected sound recordings without a license from the applicable copyright owner(s).
If a platform requires it, you must correctly label any content that includes AI-generated elements.
AI Impersonation
You cannot distribute content that imitates identifiable artists using AI voice cloning (e.g. "AI Drake", "AI Bad Bunny"-style releases).
Content owned by others
Tracks whose rights you do not control (or, in the case of back catalogue, have never controlled), or that include such tracks or parts of such tracks.
Tracks with uncleared samples.
Tracks that include hidden samples of other tracks, or that purport to be other tracks, whether or not those other tracks are controlled by you.
Remixes, mashups, sped up, slowed down, reverbed, or other derivative versions, unless you also control and deliver the original version(s) or have licensed the right to create and/or distribute the derivative version(s).
DJ mixes, unless you control the rights to all tracks in that mix or have licensed the mix for commercial release.
Content that closely resembles other people’s content
Soundalikes.
Karaoke versions, unless you control the original recording.
Re-records, unless you control or have properly licensed the underlying composition and meet all of the following conditions:
The re-record is clearly differentiated from the original in the track metadata, using the Version/Subtitle field and/or the track title (e.g. "(Re-record)", "(New Recording)", "(2026 Version)").
Artist name, track title, and artwork are not used in a way that could confuse consumers with the original recording or the original artist.
A new, unique ISRC is assigned. You cannot reuse the ISRC from the original recording.
You can document the full rights chain (composition and master) and provide evidence if requested by AudioMaze or a DSP.
Re-masters, unless you control the original recording.
Live recordings, unless you control the original studio recording.
Misleading artist names and artwork
Artist names that could be confused with well-known artists, even with slight misspellings (e.g. "Tylor Swift", "Bad Bonny").
Artwork that imitates the visual style, imagery, or branding of popular artists or third-party brands.
Any unauthorized use of logos, characters, images, or sounds belonging to third parties in a way that could mislead consumers.
Content that is unlawful or objectionable
Incites violence or hatred, or contributes to real world harm.
Is defamatory.
Hate speech.
Promotes the exploitation or abuse of minors.
Promotes sexual violence.
Explicit Content
If you deliver tracks that use explicit language but otherwise comply with this Content Policy, you are expected to select the "Explicit" checkbox when uploading. Do not add "(Explicit)" or similar tags directly in the track title.
