Copyright & AI Content
Last Updated: February 26, 2025
1. Introduction
This page explains Taleon's approach to copyright and intellectual property rights, with a specific focus on AI-generated content. As an interactive storytelling platform that utilizes AI technology, we believe it's important to be transparent about how we handle these complex legal areas.
2. AI-Generated Content
Taleon uses artificial intelligence to help generate and develop stories on our platform. The legal status of AI-generated content is an evolving area of law, with different approaches across jurisdictions.
Current legal consensus in many jurisdictions suggests that:
- Purely AI-generated content without meaningful human input may not qualify for copyright protection in some jurisdictions
- Content created through human-AI collaboration, where humans provide creative direction, editing, and curation, may be eligible for copyright protection
- The extent of human creative input required varies by jurisdiction
3. Our Approach to Content Ownership
At Taleon, our stories are created through a collaborative process involving:
- Human writers and editors who provide creative direction
- AI technology that assists in generating content
- Community input that influences story development
Given this collaborative approach, we assert the following:
- Taleon claims ownership of the stories published on our platform to the extent permitted by law
- We acknowledge that purely AI-generated elements may not be copyrightable in some jurisdictions
- The human creative elements and the selection, arrangement, and editing of content are protected by copyright
4. User Contributions
When users contribute to stories through comments, votes, or other interactions:
- Users retain ownership of their original comments and feedback
- By submitting contributions, users grant Taleon a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and display such contributions in connection with our service
- This license allows us to incorporate user ideas into story development
5. Fair Use and Limitations
We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. Our content may incorporate elements that fall under fair use or similar doctrines, including:
- References to cultural works, tropes, and genres
- Parody or commentary on existing works
- Use of factual information and historical events
We do not claim ownership of public domain materials or factual information used in our stories.
6. DMCA and Copyright Complaints
