DistroKid says it can accept music created with AI tools if users control the necessary rights and comply with restrictions on impersonation, infringement and mass-generated spam.

Why the distinction matters

Upload eligibility is a platform policy, not a declaration that a user owns all AI-generated expression under copyright law. AI tool contracts and voice or sample permissions can conflict with the artist’s assumptions about commercial distribution.

Checklist for creators

Review the exact tool terms applicable when the track was made. Document original musicians, writers, human contributions, vocal sources and distribution permissions. If a rights question remains unresolved, address it before delivery to multiple stores.
