Real laws, real rights, real money. MELAOS STUDIOS makes it easy to create — this is what you need to know to actually own and get paid for what you make.

On October 28, 2025, ASCAP, BMI, and SOCAN (Canada) released a joint policy statement on AI-generated music and PRO royalty eligibility.

📜 The Joint Policy:

â€ĸ Partially AI-generated music: ELIGIBLE for PRO registration and royalties — as long as there is meaningful human creative contribution
â€ĸ Fully AI-generated music: NOT ELIGIBLE for PRO royalties — no human authorship = no copyright protection

This means: if you use MELAOS STUDIOS to help write or produce, but you are the creative force — writing lyrics, shaping the arrangement, directing the sound — your music can still be registered. But if you just type a prompt and call it your song, you can't register it and can't collect PRO royalties.

âš ī¸ What this means for you: Use MELAOS as an instrument, not a vending machine. The more of your own creative decisions are in a track, the stronger your copyright claim.
