Overview
- Bandcamp says music or audio generated wholly or in substantial part by AI is not allowed on the platform.
- Using AI tools to impersonate artists or mimic specific styles is explicitly forbidden under existing impersonation and IP rules.
- Listeners are asked to flag suspected AI uploads, and Bandcamp reserves the right to remove music on suspicion of AI generation.
- The company’s Acceptable Use policy bars scraping Bandcamp content or using it to train machine‑learning models.
- The move contrasts with more permissive approaches on services like Spotify as questions persist over how Bandcamp will define and detect a “substantial” AI role.
