Have you used AI in your creative process? Are there elements in your song that are entirely AI-generated? We've created a simple set of rules to clarify the registration requirements.
Broadly, we differentiate between AI-assisted and AI-generated music. Generally, you can register as the rights holder if you have created new music and lyrics, even with AI assistance. However, this requires a significant creative contribution from you.
The rules for registration
Music that is entirely AI-generated cannot be registered.
Copyright protection for a musical work requires human creative effort. Thus, a song fully generated by AI cannot be registered as a work.
AI-assisted music can be registered by the copyright holder.
When using generative AI tools in your creative process, Koda views these tools as aids that, combined with sufficient human effort, contribute to the final work. However, you must process the AI-generated text or music to achieve copyright protection. In such cases, you, as the copyright holder, can register the AI-assisted text or music with Koda.
If either the text or music is fully AI-generated
If either the text or music is fully AI-generated, you will not receive payment for the AI-generated element. The human-created element will receive the usual protection and payment. The fully AI-generated work element must be registered with the rights holder type "AI Koda" (search using IPI number 1210554306).
Administration fees
Please note that Koda may charge an administration fee for registering an unusually large number of works.

Koda reserves the right to text and data mining under Copyright Act § 11 b, paragraph 2, and relevant EU law. Any collection (scraping) and use of Koda members' copyright-protected works for AI training or development requires permission.
