AI music rights

What it is

Streaming services now label AI music, AI companies are licensing catalogues, and publishers ask that the song is valued at least equally with the recording. Aden keeps your side of that in one place:

• AI use on every track: no AI, AI-assisted or AI-generated, and which parts (vocals, instrumental, lyrics, composition). Distributors read it from your release export.
• AI training rights: your music is reserved by default. Its public pages carry a machine-readable opt-out, so AI companies that respect it ask you for a licence instead.
• AI licences: record a licence to an AI company with what it covers (past use, training, outputs) and the song's share of the payout. Aden flags a song share below the recording's.
• AI licensing income shows apart from streams in your royalties.
• Catalogue metadata: one score for how much of a roster carries the ISRC, ISWC, writer IPIs and song splits payouts are matched on.

Using it

1. Declare AI use. Open a track → Metadata → Details and pick AI use. For AI-assisted or AI-generated tracks, pick the parts and name the tools. On the phone app it's the AI use row in the track's details. Tracks you generate in Aden are declared AI-generated for you.
2. Reserve or open AI training. Team settings → Reserve AI training rights sets the default for every track. A single track can choose otherwise on its Release tab. An organisation can require the reservation for every team it holds from its settings.
3. License to an AI company. In Licensing, add a licence and pick AI licence as the type. Choose what it covers and enter the song's share of the payout.
4. Check your catalogue. On an organisation's Rights & deals page, the Metadata button shows the score and what's missing.
