Why now

Don’t let the algorithm stall your release.

Four external forces are converging on every AI-assisted track right now. Each one closes a door creators didn’t see coming. RightsDocket gives you the proof to keep them open.

01

The Upload Freeze

Threat

Distributors and streaming platforms are deploying strict “slop filters” that shadowban and reject undocumented AI-assisted music.

Shield

Free Rights Review. Start with a no-upload first review that helps you navigate the complicated and ever-changing legal and monetization rules around AI-assisted music — before a distributor rejects you.

02

The Ownership Trap

Threat

The U.S. Copyright Office has ruled pure AI output uncopyrightable. Unstructured chat logs and screenshots won’t save your human credit.

Shield

USCO-aware structured review. Our proprietary deterministic USCO taxonomy-based engine makes it easy for you to convert a messy creation workflow into a structured, data-backed evidence record reviewers can read.

03

The Rotting Digital Shoebox

Threat

Every day you wait, evidence decays. Lost prompts and scattered voice memos destroy your track’s long-term commercial value.

Shield

Pre-Production Protection. Use the Human Proof Pack to timestamp your lyrics from day one, locking in human authorship before the AI even generates the audio.

04

The Sync Dead-End

Threat

Music supervisors, labels, and sync agents will not license an AI-assisted track that carries undocumented legal liability.

Shield

Tamper-Evident Records. Export a cryptographically signed Rights Receipt with public verification links. Hand buyers an evidence-backed record that gives reviewers a clear place to start.

WHAT WE MONITOR

The rules around AI music keep moving. We track them so your release doesn't stall.

AI tool terms shift. Distributor disclosure rules shift. USCO guidance and EU AI Act guidance keep moving. RightsDocket monitors 14 sources across copyright offices, provenance standards, AI tool terms, and distributor disclosure paths — then turns them into questions you can answer about your track and a signed record you can share.

REVIEWED SOURCES

14 sources, monitored for every release

Every Free Rights Review draws from these sources before it asks you anything. So the questions you answer fit your release — not a generic legal checklist.

Where it fits

You need RightsDocket when…

Six concrete moments where a structured evidence record is the difference between getting through review and getting sent back. If any of these sound like you, the Free Rights Review is built for it.

  • 01

    You made a track with Suno, Udio, ElevenLabs, Lyria, or another AI music tool

    and you want to understand what should be documented before it goes anywhere.

  • 02

    You’re preparing a registration, distributor upload, sync pitch, label review, or filing prep

    Each path has different evidence expectations. RightsDocket maps them to the work you’ve already done.

  • 03

    A distributor, label, manager, lawyer, or sync buyer asks how the track was made

    Hand them a structured record instead of an email thread and three Dropbox links.

  • 04

    You wrote lyrics or other source material before using AI

    and want stronger time-of-creation evidence for the human contribution that came first.

  • 05

    You’re not sure whether your AI tool plan or provider context may matter

    Free plan vs. Pro plan vs. enterprise terms can change what you’re allowed to do with the output. We track the rules so you don’t have to.

  • 06

    You need a structured evidence record you can hand to someone else

    without sending them your whole creative process. One HTML receipt, one signed metadata file, one verification link.

If two or more of these sound familiar, you’re already past the point where ad-hoc notes hold up.

Why built differently

Most “AI-detection” tools guess. RightsDocket structures the record.

A receipt is only as strong as what stands behind it. Three things make ours hold up — under a label’s review, an ASCAP audit, or a court subpoena.

01 / Boundary

The reviewer decides. The platform records.

RightsDocket never claims your work is “human enough” or assigns an authorship percentage. It captures what you put in, what came back, and what you kept — then signs it. The judgment stays with the reviewer who has standing to make it.

Others“AI score: 73%”
RightsDocketInputs · Outputs · Edits · Hash

02 / Cryptographic

Signed, hashed, and verifiable. Not narrative.

Every receipt carries a SHA-256 content hash, an Ed25519 signature, and an optional RFC 3161 timestamp. A reviewer doesn’t have to trust a static file — they can verify it offline against your public key in under a second.

OthersStatic affidavit, trust the brand
RightsDocketVerifiable bytes, no trust required

03 / Standards

Built on what reviewers already accept.

SHA-256, Ed25519, RFC 3161 trusted timestamps, and C2PA content credentials are not RightsDocket inventions — they’re the same primitives that secure HTTPS, code-signing, and Adobe’s content provenance. Your receipt fits the audit infrastructure that already exists.

OthersProprietary fingerprint format
RightsDocketOpen standards, third-party verifiable

The proof stack

What’s actually inside a receipt.

Every claim a RightsDocket receipt makes is anchored to one of these primitives — none of them invented here, all of them auditable.

256
SHA-256 content hash

A unique fingerprint of the final audio file. Change one sample, the hash changes.

Ed
Ed25519 signature

Your authorship statement, signed with your private key. Verifiable against your public key by anyone, offline.

3161
RFC 3161 timestamp Human Proof Pack

Trusted third-party timestamp authority countersigns the moment your receipt was issued. Independently verifiable.

C2PA
C2PA content credentials

The same provenance manifest standard Adobe, the BBC, and Sony use. Travels with the file across platforms.

Distribution & copyright rules04 questions

Will DistroKid or Spotify reject my AI-assisted track in 2026?+
AnswerThey can reject, remove, or limit tracks that lack clear rights, misuse someone’s voice or identity, look like mass-generated spam, or fail platform guidelines.
ContextDistroKid says AI-created music is allowed, but uploaders must own 100% of the rights, avoid impersonation, avoid mass-generated spam, and avoid infringement. It also warns that streaming services may reject or remove releases that do not meet their guidelines. Spotify has also announced stronger AI protections around impersonation, spam filtering, and AI disclosures in credits.
RightsDocketHelps you organize the evidence behind your track before a reviewer, distributor, or platform asks for it.
Can I copyright a song if I wrote the lyrics but AI made the beat?+
AnswerPotentially, but the copyright claim needs to focus on your specific human contributions, not the AI-generated material.
ContextThe U.S. Copyright Office says generative AI outputs can be protected only where a human author determines sufficient expressive elements. Human-authored lyrics, creative arrangements, or meaningful modifications may matter. Mere prompts are not enough.
RightsDocketHelps separate what you created from what the AI generated, so your evidence is organized for review and filing preparation.
Do my text prompts count as human authorship for AI music?+
AnswerPrompts alone are generally not enough.
ContextThe U.S. Copyright Office has said copyright may cover material where human authorship is expressed in the output, such as through perceptible human-authored work, creative arrangement, or modification — but not through the mere provision of prompts.
RightsDocketHelps you document the human contribution that goes beyond prompting: lyrics, arrangement choices, edits, stems, recorded vocals, DAW changes, or other creative decisions.
Can I use screenshots of my DAW or Suno to prove I wrote a song?+
AnswerScreenshots can support your story, but they are weak evidence by themselves.
ContextScreenshots and chat logs are easy to lose, alter, or separate from the final track. Stronger documentation uses timestamped records, cryptographic hashes, and a structured evidence trail that shows what was captured and when.
RightsDocketTurns scattered creation materials into a signed, timestamped, review-ready record.

How RightsDocket works05 questions

What exactly does the Free Rights Review check?+
AnswerIt reviews your track information against a structured evidence and release-readiness workflow.
ContextWe map your track against 56+ strict policy gates to check your metadata hygiene, human contribution disclosures, and AI tool rules.
Why it mattersInstead of vague advice, RightsDocket shows what is documented, what is missing, and what record you may need next.
Do I have to upload my unreleased master file?+
AnswerNo — for the browser-local review path, your raw audio does not need to be uploaded for the initial analysis.
ContextRightsDocket can generate a cryptographic hash locally in the browser. That lets the system reference a file fingerprint without storing the raw unreleased master for the free review experience.
Why it mattersYou can check release-readiness without handing over your unreleased track file.
What do I get when the review is done?+
AnswerA clear review status and a next step.
ContextInstead of generic advice, we explicitly list the exact evidence your track is missing and provide a clear, review-first diagnostic: Ready to proceed, Human Audit Required, or Policy Conflict.
Why it mattersIf your evidence is incomplete, RightsDocket can point you toward a Rights Receipt for an existing track or a Human Proof Pack for stronger pre-creation evidence.
Does RightsDocket use AI chatbots to write my copyright claims?+
AnswerNo. RightsDocket uses deterministic rules to structure the evidence you provide.
ContextRightsDocket’s claim-safe principle is confirm-don’t-construct: the user asserts and supplies the evidence, and the system structures, locks, and exports the record. The creative and legal judgment stays with the human.
Why it mattersThe system does not invent your authorship story or use generative AI to hallucinate claim language.
Is RightsDocket providing legal advice?+
AnswerNo. RightsDocket is an evidence and release-readiness workflow, not a law firm.
ContextRightsDocket documents and structures the evidence you provide. It does not decide copyrightability, guarantee registration outcomes, verify ownership claims, or replace legal counsel.
Why it mattersThe judgment stays with the people who have standing to make it — you, your counsel, your reviewer.
