JASRAC to manage songs with “AI music & human lyrics” — Drawing a line based on “whether there is creative human contribution”
JASRAC to manage songs with “AI music & human lyrics” — Drawing a line based on “whether there is creative human contribution” – ITmedia NEWS

[Yuka Okada, ITmedia]
The Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers (JASRAC) has issued guidelines for generative AI works, stating that while songs with both lyrics and music created by AI will not be managed, songs where either the lyrics or the music are AI-generated while the other part is created by a human will be managed only for the human-created portion.
According to the guidelines, music or lyrics autonomously generated by AI based on simple prompts, where no human has contributed to the creation, do not qualify as copyrighted works and are therefore outside the scope of JASRAC’s management.

Typical money-grubbing JASRAC.

Shut up and get lost.

Only the creator knows whether AI was used or not, right?

JASRAC, acting like Gian (the neighborhood bully) again, managing whatever they want.

Actually, I’m surprised they *don’t* manage songs where both lyrics and music are by AI.
At this rate, isn’t that all that will be left?

It’s because they don’t value their customers.

They shouldn’t be managing the music if AI composed it.
They should only be able to manage the lyrics.

How are they going to judge if it was made by AI or not?
Is there an “AI-ness” to it like there is with art or writing?

Even humming will require a permit soon.

That AI-made reggae version of Moonlight Densetsu was hilarious LOL.

That’s fine, but what do you mean they “haven’t been paying music usage fees to singers until now”?

Just trying to snatch up anything humans could have copyright over, huh?

Unlike with art,
if you transcribe an AI-made song by ear and program it yourself, no one would ever know.

Just let AI handle all the songs and lyrics already.
If you can’t perform live, you’re not an artist anyway.

Songs made by AI should belong to the people who made the AI.

Classic Kasurac (JASRAC).

Once again, JASRAC is attracted to the scent of money.

Business as usual.

They don’t manage it on their own;
this is just the criteria for when a rights holder applies.

Haven’t heard the name JASRAC in a while.
Thanks to these guys, I’ve stopped spending money on music, whether that’s a good thing or bad.

If you don’t want it managed, just do both with AI, I guess.

If you don’t want it managed, don’t entrust it to them.
These guidelines are for those who want to entrust it.

It’d be better if they didn’t recognize AI at all, that would increase freedom.
When it comes to music, copyright infringement shouldn’t be recognized unless it’s a direct copy.

(･∀･;) 9.5% management fee.
93: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/11(Thu) 17:00:17.75 ID:kqBTAi6y0
Even if you join JASRAC, doesn’t the easy money just go to the top-selling artists?

“We’ll manage it for you, so give us money! Give us money! Money! Money! Money!”

If an AI applies, I bet they’d accept it anyway.

What was that, Kasurac, who even tried to take money from piano schools?
104: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/11(Thu) 17:04:48.34 ID:XC3YE4Tz0
JASRAC *does* take money from piano schools.
It’s only natural if managed music is being used.

Whether it’s songs or lyrics, you can no longer tell where AI’s contribution ends and human contribution begins, can you?
