I am interested in using Soundpiece as a replacement for AIVA when my subscription to that product expires. I am subscribed to the Pro plan which means I own the copyright to the music I produce. I know you have already answered a number of similar questions regarding the user license but perhaps that is because it is rather confusing. I would like to publish the music I produce with Soundpiece via various streaming services such as Spotify. The license agreement says this is prohibited. However, you seem to have said that it is allowed if the licensee modifies the composition. The bottom line is: I need clear guidance on what I need to do to any compositions produced in Soundpiece in order to publish them to streaming outlets without breaching the terms of use. For example, if I were to use a music production app to create an original melody and mix it with the Soundpiece-generated composition, would this allow me legitimately to publish the end result to services such as Spotify? Thank you in advance.
Hi Henley, thanks for the great question!
The simplest way to explain it is that as long as the new mixed song (using parts of what soundpiece generates and mixing it together with your own melody) sounds like a different / new song, then that will be fine to publish on Spotify.
The only limitation is if you don't make any changes to the original soundpiece generated song, then you can't claim full copyright on that.
If you, however, make changes or incorporate it into a larger song and the new song sounds different, then you will be fine to publish it.
We are working on new features to make the copyright easier to understand and manage in future.
