Two platforms.
Same questions.
Descript
IMAGE / VIDEO / AUDIO GENERATION
PROMPT
Users own their inputs and generated outputs. "Both Input and Output are considered User Content under these Terms, and as between you and Descript, you own all right, title, and interest in and to any Input and Output, to the extent protectable under applicable law."
OUTPUT
Users own their generated outputs but Descript notes that "the copyright status of the generated Output may not be clear and that the use of such Generative Tools may affect your ability to obtain or enforce any intellectual property rights."
TRAINING
Descript uses content to train models by default unless the user opts out. "Descript may access and use your Input and Output in order to create and operate Descript...including by Descript to train, improve, and develop its models and technologies (unless you have opted out of such use)."
COMMERCIAL
Commercial use of user-generated outputs is permitted. Specific commercial licensing applies to Storyblocks stock material.

LANDR
IMAGE / VIDEO / AUDIO GENERATION
PROMPT
Users retain full ownership of submitted prompt characters and keywords.
OUTPUT
Users own generated creative outputs. Platform retains personal license to index generated catalog unless toggled to private.
TRAINING
Enabled by default on consumer accounts to train future generative weights. Opt-out requires premium/private adjustments.
COMMERCIAL
Commercial use is permitted on paid profiles. Free trial creations carry personal-use attribution restrictions.

Despite claiming no ownership, Descript takes an extremely broad, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license over all user content including name and likeness, across all current and future media channels, with no compensation.

“Additional content libraries (the “Additional Libraries”) are not subject to this license, may not be available for commercial use without a license, and may require that you obtain model clearance.”
Additional Libraries outside Storyblocks may require separate commercial licenses and model clearances, creating potential legal exposure for users who assume all platform content is commercially usable.
