IP infringement

Characters, stories, music and footage you don’t own.

You must own or have permission to use everything in your series, including artwork, music and titles. Generating something doesn’t make it yours if it copies someone else’s work.

Common myths

MythReality
“It’s AI, so there’s no copyright issue.”The output can still infringe an existing work.
“I gave credit.”Credit isn’t permission.
“I changed the name and colors.”It still infringes if it’s recognizably the same character.
“I’m not charging for it.”Free episodes can infringe too.
“It’s fair use.”That’s for a court to decide, and we can’t rule on it. We may remove it after a valid claim.

What’s usually fine

  • Genres, tropes and general ideas, such as a heist, a chosen one or a haunted house.
  • A broad visual style, as long as the result doesn’t copy specific characters or scenes.
  • Public domain works. Check the exact version, because a newer adaptation or translation can still be protected.

Our licence to your work is non-exclusive and you keep ownership, so you can publish the same series elsewhere. If someone copies you, see Takedowns.
