AI Content and Ownership

Nothing you upload or create on Dhun.io becomes ours. We take no ownership share, no publishing cut, and no royalty. We do not need a licence to your masters in order to run a compressor on them.

We do need permission to actually operate: to store your files, process them on our servers, and send them to the specific third-party services a tool requires. That permission is limited to running the service for you, and it ends when you delete the work.

We do not train models on your music.

If you bring us a recording — your vocal, your guitar, your mix — and we split its stems, tune it, de-noise it, mix it or master it, the result is yours. Processing does not change who wrote or performed something.

You are responsible for having the rights to what you upload. Uploading someone else's record to pull an acapella out of it does not give you the right to release that acapella.

For audio generated by AI rather than recorded by you, we cannot promise you own the copyright, and neither can anyone else. This is not caution for its own sake; it is the actual state of the law.

United States copyright requires human authorship. The Copyright Office does not register material that lacks it, and has refused registrations on that basis. A track produced purely from a text prompt may have no copyright at all — not yours, not ours, not the generation provider's.

The generation providers we use grant a commercial LICENCE to the output rather than ownership of it. Suno's own terms state it makes no representation or warranty that any copyright will vest in the output. A licence means the provider will not pursue you for using it; it does not let you stop anyone else from using something similar.

The more of the work is genuinely yours — your writing, your performance, your arrangement decisions — the stronger your position. Generated material you have substantially reworked stands better than generated material released as-is.

It would be the easier sentence to write and it appears on plenty of competing products. It is a warranty we could not honour, and one a distributor or a rights holder could later hold us — and you — to.

You are better served by knowing where the line falls than by being reassured up to the point where it costs you a release.

Distributors and streaming services increasingly require AI-generated material to be disclosed, and are building detection for it. Those are their rules, they change, and complying with them is your responsibility when you release.

Failing to disclose is a risk to your distribution account independently of the copyright question.

This page describes how copyright currently treats AI-generated material and how we handle it. It is general information, not legal advice. If a release matters commercially, take advice from a lawyer practising in this area.
