Using AI Voices for Commercial Projects
If you plan to use AI-generated voices for commercial purposes or public content, you need to consider two key questions:
A. Do you own the content rights?
B. Do you have permission to use the audio commercially?
With Kukarella's paid subscription, you automatically get commercial usage rights for the AI voices. However, this is only half of what you need to consider.
Understanding Content Rights
The most important factor is your right to the content itself. You are legally protected when you use your original text. This means:
-You own the copyright to the text
-You can authorize derivative works (like AI voice recordings)
-You own the copyright to the resulting recordings
The key requirement is that you "created" the work, showing some level of creativity in the process.
Copyright Laws and AI-Generated Content
Using text that you don't own puts you in a legally uncertain position. Current copyright laws about AI-generated content are not fully clear. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has recently made an important decision: they revoked copyright protection for an AI-generated comic because copyrightable works must be created by humans.
This decision affects AI voice creators in two ways:
-Your original text content needs human creativity
-The final audio product combines your human-created content with AI voice generation
Commercial Use with Kukarella
All paid Kukarella subscriptions include commercial usage rights. This means you can use the AI voices for business purposes as long as you have rights to the text content you're converting.
Protecting Your Commercial Work
To stay legally compliant:
- Create original content
- Document your creative process
- Keep records of your text content
- Maintain clear usage rights documentation
