Copyright & Other Rights
Use material you are entitled to use and understand how rights concerns are handled.
On this page
1. Check the rights before uploading
A file being available online does not mean it is licensed for reuse, transformation or commercial publication. Check the licence or other lawful permission for the intended use. A right to view or download something may not permit submitting it to a generation provider.
Images can involve copyright and a person’s likeness or privacy. Music may involve a composition, lyrics, a recording and performers. Video can contain all of these. A generated scene may also include protected designs, logos or recognisable artworks. Permission for one layer does not automatically cover the others.
Statutory exceptions, such as quotation, parody or fair use, depend on the applicable law and facts. LIA does not declare every AI transformation exempt or require you to surrender exceptions you lawfully have.
2. Rights in generated media
Purely machine-generated elements may not be protected by copyright in some jurisdictions. Human-created selection, arrangement or modification may be treated differently. Payment for generation does not itself establish copyright or exclusivity.
Provider terms can also set permitted uses and attribution. Before enabling a provider, LIA must verify the rights it can pass to users. LIA does not promise that every future result is unique, commercially cleared or free of third-party claims.
3. Reporting a rights concern
Copyright and rights contact: Information not provided. The actual contact and any legally required agent must be published before public launch. This page is not a claim that LIA has registered a DMCA agent or already qualifies for a statutory safe harbour.
A useful report identifies the protected work or right, the precise LIA item or URL, the reason you believe the use is unauthorised, your authority to act and a reliable reply channel. Include a signature and any declarations required by the applicable notice procedure. Send only what is needed; do not distribute private or illegal material to make a report.
4. Review and challenges
A valid notice may lead to a request for clarification, temporary restriction or removal of identified material, as required by law and the circumstances. The affected user should receive an appropriate explanation unless disclosure is prohibited or would create a concrete safety risk.
A user disputing a restriction should explain the claimed licence, authorship, exception or mistaken identification. Where a statutory counter-notice procedure applies, its required statements, timelines and consequences must be followed. There is no automatic restoration promise that overrides a court order or a continuing safety issue.
Repeated substantiated infringement may lead to account restrictions. Deliberately false notices or impersonating a rights holder are prohibited. A notice process does not decide ownership conclusively or replace a competent court.
