Overview
- The policy states that music or audio generated wholly or in substantial part by AI is not permitted on Bandcamp.
- Bandcamp also prohibits use of AI tools to impersonate artists or replicate other artists’ styles under its existing impersonation and IP rules.
- The company announced the stance via its official account on the Bandcamp subreddit and invited users to report suspected AI-made tracks for review.
- Bandcamp says it reserves the right to remove music on suspicion of being AI generated and will update the rules as technologies change.
