I use Udio to generate intro/outro music and background tracks for my podcast network (5 podcasts, all monetized). Questions:
Re: Content ID — I've uploaded about 50 videos with Udio background music. Got Content ID claims on 3 of them. In all cases, I disputed successfully by providing my Udio subscription receipt and the generation timestamp.
The Content ID system doesn't know it's AI-generated — it just pattern-matches against registered tracks. Sometimes an Udio output sounds similar enough to trigger it. Disputes have been resolved within 2-3 days for me.
@jurys_out_12 If I cancel my Udio subscription, do I lose the commercial license for music I generated while subscribed?
Music supervisor for indie films here. We've started using Udio for temp tracks and some final background music. Important legal reality check: while Udio gives you a license to use the outputs, the copyright status of AI-generated music is still unsettled.
The US Copyright Office hasn't definitively ruled on AI music. If someone copies your Udio track, your ability to sue for copyright infringement is unclear. The license from Udio gives you permission to use it — it doesn't give you copyright ownership in the traditional sense.
For background music in podcasts/video, this is fine. For music you plan to distribute as standalone songs and want to protect, the legal landscape is still murky.
