Ownership & Creator Protection

Your work stays yours

Plain-language principles about how we treat creators' work and audiences' purchases. The binding detail lives in our legal terms — this is what those terms are trying to protect.

Principles

Creators keep their rights

Publishing work on Undiscovered One does not transfer ownership of it. Creators hold the rights to what they make.

We do not claim your work

We ask only for the permissions needed to host, deliver, and promote a release within the ecosystem — nothing broader.

Purchases should stay meaningful

When someone buys music, that purchase should keep working. We design libraries so a legitimate purchase is not quietly taken away.

Memberships stay creator-controlled

Creators decide what a membership costs, what it includes, and when something is available.

Continuity and portability

Being on Undiscovered One should never be a trap. Portability and preservation are design priorities, not afterthoughts.

What this is and is not

These are commitments about how we build, not legal guarantees about every possible future circumstance. Where a promise has limits, we would rather say so here than bury it.
