Rights & AI
Generative AI is part of how MetaDJ’s music is made, and a person directs every release. Here is how that works, what copyright can cover, and when you need permission to use the music elsewhere.
How this music is made
Generative AI creates the recordings on MetaDJ.ai. MetaDJ, the music and avatar project created and performed by Z, directs what becomes a release: setting the musical direction, generating and comparing takes, choosing the material, shaping each release’s sequence, and deciding what is ready to share.
Editing, arrangement and mastering vary by release. Rather than treating every AI-generated or AI-assisted contribution as if it had the same authorship or rights status, MetaDJ.ai describes the process plainly.
Voices, likeness and artwork
MetaDJ is the artist identity of a real person, Z, not an AI persona. MetaDJ’s avatar, likeness and voice belong to Z, and some work may use AI versions of them made by Z or with Z’s permission. Vocals on the recordings can be AI-generated.
MetaDJ.ai does not use AI to imitate another artist’s voice or likeness. Cover art and other visuals can also include AI-generated material, directed by MetaDJ.
What copyright may cover
Copyright does not automatically cover AI-generated material. U.S. copyright law requires human authorship, and in March 2026 the Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to that rule. Under current U.S. Copyright Office guidance, protection depends on the human-authored expression in a work, which can include qualifying creative selection, arrangement or modification.
Zuberant, the company behind MetaDJ.ai, protects qualifying human-authored expression and its brand where rights apply. This can include creative selection, arrangement, modification and writing, alongside the MetaDJ name and site. It does not claim copyright in raw AI output. Any permission offered for a recording also depends on the generation provider’s terms applicable to that recording and its documented provenance. Provider permission and copyright protection are separate questions.
What you can do
You can listen here and share links to the music. Streaming or liking a song does not grant download rights or ownership of a future edition.
Listening access does not grant permission to copy, sample, remix, synchronize, redistribute, place a recording in another project, or use the music to train or prompt an AI system. The same applies to MetaDJ’s voice, avatar and likeness, including AI models of them. Ask first: a separate license or written permission may be required.
Licensing and rights concerns
Email contact@metadj.ai for sync, sampling, remix, press, licensing or other use requests, or send a private message to @metadjai on X. Include the Quest link, the intended use, timing, and where the project will appear.
For a rights concern or takedown request, include the specific link, the work or right involved, and enough detail to review the issue.
