SOUNDRAW says you can use, monetize and share every beat you generate under a worldwide, perpetual commercial-use license, and keep 100% of revenue from tracks you post. That gives you broad permission to use the music; it does not establish that you own copyright in AI-generated music. Under the U.S. Copyright Office’s stated position, music generated entirely by AI is not copyrightable, and a prompt alone does not make you its author.

What “Own” Means With SOUNDRAW

There are two different questions: what you are allowed to do with a track, and who owns copyright in it. SOUNDRAW’s site describes a license to use the generated beat commercially worldwide and perpetually. Its statement that you can keep 100% of revenue describes revenue from use; it does not, by itself, say that copyright is transferred to you.

The U.S. Copyright Office says human-authored contributions in a mixed work may be protected, while material generated entirely by AI is not. It also says prompts alone do not make a person the author. So if you add original lyrics, perform or record parts yourself, or make other human-authored contributions, those parts may be treated differently from the AI-generated music. The exact outcome depends on the work and applicable law.

SOUNDRAW is the source for its license and revenue statements. The U.S. Copyright Office’s AI report explains the copyright distinction.

What The License Covers—and What To Check

SOUNDRAW says each generated beat comes with a worldwide, perpetual license for commercial use. Its site says you can post tracks on YouTube, Spotify, TikTok, or elsewhere and keep 100% of the revenue, with no copyright claims. Treat those as SOUNDRAW’s stated terms, and read the current license and plan terms before relying on them for a release or client project.

The listed Creator plan is for content creators, individuals and small companies with fewer than 10 employees; it is shown at €5.83 per month and includes commercial use as background music. The listed Artist Starter plan is for music artists and producers, individuals and small companies with fewer than 10 employees; it is shown at €10.75 per month and includes commercial use, background use, distribution and monetization of songs, and 10 monthly track downloads. Artist Unlimited is shown at €17.42 per month and says it includes everything in Artist Pro, plus unlimited monthly track downloads and MP3, WAV and stems downloads. The supplied plan information does not state the billing period or provide full details of Artist Pro, so check SOUNDRAW’s site for current terms and plan availability.

A Practical Workflow For A Track You Can Use

  1. Define the use before generating. Decide whether the track is background music for a video or part of a song you plan to distribute. SOUNDRAW’s listed Creator plan specifies background use; Artist Starter explicitly lists distribution and monetization of songs.
  2. Describe the musical job in your own notes. For example: “A restrained instrumental bed under spoken narration; leave room for the voice and avoid a dramatic ending.” This is a planning example, not a claim about a particular SOUNDRAW prompt control or supported style. Check SOUNDRAW’s site for the options it currently offers.
  3. Keep a record of your contribution. Save the version you used and keep your original lyrics, recordings, edits or arrangement notes. This can help you identify which parts were created by you if you later need to describe a mixed work.
  4. Check the license against the release. Confirm that the specific plan and current terms cover your intended use, especially if you are distributing a song rather than placing music behind content.
  5. Handle other people’s material and identity carefully. Get consent for voices or performances you use, and check the platform’s terms for any samples, covers or impersonation. The facts available here do not establish SOUNDRAW’s specific rules for those cases.
  6. Disclose AI material where required. The U.S. Copyright Office says applicants registering a work with more than a minimal amount of AI-generated material must disclose it and describe the human author’s contribution.

What This Means For YouTube And Spotify

A license from SOUNDRAW does not guarantee that every upload will be monetized or accepted under a publishing platform’s separate rules. YouTube’s inauthentic-content policy targets mass-produced, repetitive or template-based uploads; AI use alone is not the stated target. YouTube also requires disclosure when content realistically depicts altered or synthetic material that could be mistaken for a real person’s performance. Spotify says it permits vocal impersonation only when the impersonated artist has authorized it, supports AI disclosures in credits, and labels some artist identities that may be AI-generated. Check each platform’s current terms before publishing.

The Short Answer

You get SOUNDRAW’s stated worldwide, perpetual commercial-use license for generated beats, but that should not be confused with owning copyright in music generated entirely by AI. If you add human-created material, keep track of those contributions; if a particular use, release format or rights question matters, verify it against SOUNDRAW’s current license and the relevant platform’s terms.
