What are the qualifications for UGC platforms such as TikTok, Meta, and Snap?
To distribute your music to user-generated content (UGC) platforms such as TikTok, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), and Snap via Unchained Music, your content must meet specific qualifications to ensure compliance with our updated Content Policy and the requirements of these platforms.
Ownership and Rights Verification
You must hold exclusive rights to your music, including all samples, beats, and loops. This means you should either own the content outright or have an exclusive license that allows for distribution on UGC platforms. Non-exclusive licenses, public domain content, or materials sourced from common sample libraries are not permitted.
Originality and Distinctiveness
Your recordings should be original and sonically distinct. Content that closely resembles existing recordings, such as soundalike covers, remixes, or generic loops (e.g., white noise, ambient sounds), will be rejected. This ensures that the content is uniquely identifiable and does not infringe on the rights of other creators.
AI-Generated Content
If your music involves AI-generated elements, you must demonstrate substantial human creative input and comply with our AI Policies in our Content Policy. Additionally, the AI tools used should be trained on licensed datasets, and you must provide appropriate licensing information. This policy helps maintain the integrity of the music distributed and protects against unauthorized use of AI-generated content.
Metadata and Artist Profile Requirements
Accurate and complete metadata is essential. This includes providing valid artist names, track titles, and associated identifiers like Spotify and Apple Music artist IDs. Your artist profile should reflect a genuine presence, with links to active social media accounts or official websites that establish your identity and artistic activity.
