What ships
Original work. Traditional, AI-assisted, or Fully AI. An AI song render marked Fully AI is accepted. We still deliver Fully AI even if a store will not pay.
Wanna plai?
An AI song app can reach Spotify through us. DistroKid is in court.
Sep 18, 2026. A generator is not a store. A lawsuit is not a verdict. The field on upload is the whole defense.
The pipe
An AI song app does not talk to Spotify. A distributor does.
An AI song app says tracks made on a paid commercial plan or Premier carry commercial-use rights. Free-plan renders do not, and upgrading later does not rewrite the old file. You still cannot drop a WAV on Spotify yourself. You hand the packet to a distributor. We are that pipe. Track. Art. Lyrics. Tell us what a human did. Sign the split. Push the button. Live on every major store, including Spotify.
What does not
Voice cloning of an existing artist. Dead-singer covers. Someone else’s lyrics. A fake disclose. Inaccurate rights. That is how accounts get pulled, not ranked.
What you own
That app’s own help file: you must be the exclusive rights holder of the material you monetize. We generate the split sheet. Co-writers get the email. Status stays pending until signed.
The suit
UMG sued DistroKid on September 15.
UMG Recordings, Capitol Records, and Capitol CMG filed in Delaware federal court. Case 1:26-cv-01156. The complaint calls DistroKid an “AI-slop pipeline.” It alleges copyright infringement and deceptive trade practices. Reuters reported UMG claims DistroKid flooded stores with bot-generated spam and thousands of unlicensed versions of UMG recordings, including remixed or speed-altered tracks, and that many AI tracks moved through an AI song app. The exhibits name about 1,000 recordings. Beatles. Drake. Lady Gaga. Rihanna. UMG asks for statutory damages up to $150,000 per work and an injunction.
UMG also wrote that the case is not about distributing AI music that is clearly disclosed as AI. It is about the alleged false impression that the catalog is artist-backed human work, plus alleged copies of UMG masters. DistroKid denied the claims. It said it is disappointed UMG chose court over industry process and that it will defend itself. That is the record as of this week. A complaint is not a finding. A denial is not a dismissal.
The line we draw
- Tell us what a human did. No AI. AI-assisted. Fully AI. We pass the field through. We do not hide an AI song file inside a human box.
- No cloning a living artist. No stolen voice. No fake radio edit of someone else’s master.
- We still deliver Fully AI even if Tidal will not pay or Deezer keeps it out of recs. We do not invent a pay row.
- 0% cut of royalties. Artists keep 100% of their royalties. The account is free. There is no monthly charge on the free account.
- You do not pitch all day. We curate and email. You push a button.
Same stores DistroKid hits. Different rules on the way in. If you made it in an AI song app, say Fully AI. If a human sang the lead and played the centre, say AI-assisted. If there is no generator in the file, say No AI. Then make the next one.
For artists who’d rather be making the next one than reading a distribution agreement.
