People will listen to music if it’s relatable. They don’t care who or what made it. This is just a fact. All of my hit songs have great listenership already. Just make good music and you will get the streams.
Thanks for this video! I’m sharing it right away. Working with distributors for my AI music has been a challenge, especially since they rarely provide any written policy or statement on the matter. While I believe AI music is here to stay, I understand the concerns of distributors, TH-cam, and music platforms about ensuring the AI source is disclosed. It's important that the music doesn’t mimic or falsely represent contributions from other artists. I’m cautiously optimistic about the future, but I also think we may see music pulled from platforms until clearer legislation and guidelines around AI are in place.
Dear Sir or Madam, Let us make one thing clear: The distribution of AI-generated music is not a passing trend; it is the future of the music industry. It does not matter who has issues with it - progress cannot be stopped. Those who oppose this evolution will ultimately face the consequences. It is evident that certain powerful and wealthy music labels are taking measures to hinder the growth of the AI industry. But as always, it comes down to money. While AI-generated music may raise moral questions, the consumer is ruthless in their demand for a high-quality product. Should established platforms like TH-cam, DistroKid, CD Baby, or TuneCore make distribution more difficult, innovative new avenues will inevitably arise to bring music to the market. Any attempt to block progress will backfire in the end. We urge all industry players to reconsider their approach. Hindrances will only lead to a loss of trust and a migration toward alternative platforms and methods. Progress is unstoppable, and those who resist it will find themselves left behind. Sincerely, A Proponent of Progress
DistroKid's ToS clearly says you cannot distribute 100% AI-generated music. Again, this is to fight bots, not to oppress artists. I can make 5-10 good songs per day easily, even working a day job, so imagine what a bot working 24/7 could accomplish.
The reason you cannot distribute 100% AI-generated music through a distributor is due to bots. Bots automatically making music, distributing it, and falsely upping the view count. ALL automated. Imagine that. Flooding the market with endless AI music that's no good because it has no human input. I'll also say this: Suno is about the money. Udio is about the community. That's why I prefer and only use Udio. They're good to their users.
Most of you don't fill out all the data on the distribution platforms, then many lie that those songs are made by them and not generated by AI, so those of you who do this, expect all your songs to be deleted until they become honest. Stop lying! you afects all the plaforms! And if you didn't know, all songs generated with AI are digitally signed! so even if you're lying, the platforms know that the songs are synthetic. As long as you don't follow the platforms' regulations, it seems normal to me that your songs will be deleted and your accounts will be closed!
Why It’s “Safe” for DistroKid: Avoiding Direct Liability: By clarifying that users are responsible for ensuring they don’t violate copyrights (e.g., impersonating an artist’s likeness or using their name without permission), DistroKid shifts legal liability from themselves to the user. If a lawsuit arises, it’s likely to target the individual uploader rather than DistroKid. Promoting Innovation: DistroKid recognizes the explosion of AI in music creation and wants to facilitate this new wave of content. Allowing AI-generated elements aligns with the future of music while ensuring they still profit from users uploading content. Similar to Sampling Policies: Like sampling in traditional music, DistroKid doesn’t actively verify or vet every uploaded track for legal compliance. Instead, it relies on users to follow the rules and only steps in if issues arise (e.g., a DMCA takedown request). Covers Their Basis Without Explicit Endorsement: The language avoids directly endorsing AI music but permits it under conditions that absolve them of responsibility (e.g., not impersonating another artist). This way, they’re prepared for both creators embracing AI and potential backlash. What This Means for You: Responsibility is Yours: If you upload music with AI-generated elements, you’re the one legally accountable for ensuring it doesn’t infringe on others’ rights. Room for Creativity: DistroKid is giving you the green light to experiment, but you need to tread carefully-especially with recognizable voices, styles, or names. Legal Gray Area: Just like with sampling, if someone recognizes AI music that violates their intellectual property, they could still pursue legal action against you. Bottom Line: Yes, it’s a smart move by DistroKid to profit off AI-generated music while avoiding direct involvement in potential legal issues. If you’re creating music with AI, always double-check whether your work infringes on anyone’s likeness or intellectual property to stay on the safe side.
My hit song, “Tired but Not Giving Up” (th-cam.com/video/W4okygaThU4/w-d-xo.html) has made me $114 in only a few weeks. Mostly from TH-cam and Spotify streams.
People like music if its good. No one cares if its AI generated.
People will listen to music if it’s relatable. They don’t care who or what made it. This is just a fact. All of my hit songs have great listenership already. Just make good music and you will get the streams.
Agreed
Great information. You always get right to the point. Thank you.
No problem!

sorry, but no way will distributors say no to ai music. they make their money from artists not streams.

😲Congrats 👍 I would actually consider this to be a breakthrough moment.
when they take my AI music down, all earing has been removed :) 10 $... I suggest to withdraw asap :D
@@Alby-tk3yj did they leave any reason ?
@@FreeContentLab just say rejected due to editorial discretion of some store and for some songs, without telle me any detail
@@Alby-tk3yj Thanks for answer. Were they mostly Suno outputs, older versions ?
Well I Like To Make AI Cover Songs. Bummer 😕 Don't Think My Work Qualifies
