You prove you own an AI-generated song with a document, not a detector. A detector guesses whether a track was made with AI. What establishes ownership is a written record of the rights you hold, and on HitZERØ every track carries one.
Here is what actually counts as proof, why detectors are the wrong tool, and what you hand over when someone asks.
How do you prove you own an AI-generated song?
You prove it with a document, not a guess. Ownership of AI music is set by the platform's terms, so what holds up is a written record of the rights you were granted. On HitZERØ every certified track carries a Commercial Use and Rights Certificate naming the track, the rights holder, and the exact commercial rights granted.
Do AI detectors prove you own a track?
No. AI detectors estimate whether audio was made with AI; they do not establish who holds the rights to it. A detector guesses about the sound, while your Commercial Use and Rights Certificate documents the rights, which is the thing a client, platform, or event actually needs to see.
What is a Commercial Use and Rights Certificate?
It is the written record of the commercial rights you hold in a specific track. It names the track, the rights holder, and the exact commercial rights granted, and it does not expire.
What do you send when a client, platform, or event asks for proof?
You send your Commercial Use and Rights Certificate for that track. It states the rights holder and the exact commercial rights granted, in writing, with no paperwork to chase. That document is the record.
Worked example: a platform asks you to prove the track is yours
You upload a track to a streaming platform and it flags the song for a rights check. With most tools you are stuck explaining a subscription and hunting for a receipt. On HitZERØ you open the track’s Commercial Use and Rights Certificate and send it. The reviewer sees your name as the rights holder and the exact rights granted, in writing. The check clears. The same document answers a client’s legal team, an ad network, or a competition producer. One document, and the question is closed.
