AI – Reserve your rights!
The use of copyrighted works for AI training or machine learning is subject to specific authorisations/licences which need to be secured in advance. To best protect their rights, all copyright owners should clarify their position on this as an additional guarantee. Two steps are advisable:
1. Declare on your company website that your rights are reserved, communicate this to all partners to whom you have licensed music and ideally also to AI companies.
2. At website and service level, ask your commercial partners to make a similar express reservation of rights clear in their terms and conditions, and to implement technical protection measures to avoid circumvention of rights
