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.
“ Sign up and log-in to your account may be done with your email address or by means of some social logins. Any terms and conditions in relation to the email service or social login that you use are from theirs and they have nothing to do with our terms and conditions. ”
“We claim no ownership rights in your User Content. You hereby grant to us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, fully paid, worldwide license to create derivative works from, access, reproduce, distribute, process, publish, display, perform, adapt,…”
Descript disclaims ownership of user content but takes back a sweeping perpetual, irrevocable license to outputs/edited content. The scope of 'improve the Descript Service' is broad and could encompass model training.
“To provide our Services (such as storing your content in our cloud and sharing the content in the Community Content Hub, as well as maintaining, operating, exploiting or advertising the Hub and any other products or services offered by us, our licensors, partners or related compa…”
Although users retain ownership, the license granted is perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, worldwide, and covers derivative works, marketing exploitation, and sharing with third parties and APIs — extremely broad.
“You hereby grant to us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, fully paid, worldwide license to create derivative works from, access, reproduce, distribute, process, publish, display, perform, adapt, modify, analyze, and otherwise use the User Content…”
The license to 'analyze' and 'improve the Descript Service' could encompass AI model training on user content. There is no explicit opt-out mechanism referenced in the visible text.
“Operating and improving Voicemod Products, so that they can work as designed and can maintain the ever-improving nature of our technology, for example, to prevent or address malware or illegal content, or to develop them to offer you better quality sounds or voices, better adapt…”
User content may be used to improve and develop Voicemod's technology, which includes AI/ML models, as part of the broad perpetual license grant. This effectively permits training use.
“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.
“you expressly authorise Voicemod, on a non-exclusive basis, free of charge, worldwide and without time limitation, to use your comments, feedback and/or testimonials for any purpose (including commercial), including any photograph, image, text and/or video forming part thereof, i…”
Users grant Voicemod a perpetual, worldwide, free-of-charge license to use their testimonials, feedback, images, and likeness for any commercial purpose without limitation.
“Personalize and improve the Descript Service and for research and development purposes including training our artificial intelligence models;”
User data (including uploaded content) may be used to train AI models. An opt-out exists for Projects specifically, but this broad statement covers other collected information without a clear opt-out.
“You also acknowledge and agree that User Content, once uploaded to the Community Content Hub, may be downloaded by other users to create more content and that, accordingly, even if you subsequently delete any content, it may continue to be used by those users who downloaded it du…”
Deletion of content does not guarantee removal; content downloaded by other users may continue to circulate indefinitely. Combined with the perpetual irrevocable license, effective deletion is practically impossible.
“ Scope of License. The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the Mac App on any iPhone, iPod touch or iPad that you own or control as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service.”
“ 3. We may also provide technical support for the use of Voicemod Products and/or Voicemod Content, with limitations, especially in the cases of discontinued Products and old versions of our Products, Services and/or Technology. ”
