Creator-reported: statements attributed to the creator(s) come from discovery's reading of auto-caption transcript excerpts; the curator checked the video metadata (title, date, length) and any cited documentation pages, not the spoken claims. Nothing was tested; promotional or sponsored framing applies where stated. Mikkel Lassalle's Mureka video (2026-03-03, R8) tells viewers that all generated tracks are "100% royalty-free and come with a commercial license" and that "you don't have to worry about any copyright strikes". Mureka's own terms as fetched (C3-B413-01, R13) say: paid-tier users own Output; FREE-tier Output is owned by Mureka; the general service licence is for personal, non-commercial use; Mureka does not guarantee copyright registrability and the user bears legal risk; using Mureka's distribution service grants Mureka an exclusive licence.

Mikkel Lassalle's Mureka video (2026-03-03, R8) tells viewers that all generated tracks are "100% royalty-free and come with a commercial license" and that "you don't have to worry about any copyright strikes". Mureka's own terms as fetched (C3-B413-01, R13) say: paid-tier users own Output; FREE-tier Output is owned by Mureka; the general service licence is for personal, non-commercial use; Mureka does not guarantee copyright registrability and the user bears legal risk; using Mureka's distribution service grants Mureka an exclusive licence. No term read guarantees freedom from copyright claims (Content ID or otherwise). Lesson for curation and creators: a sponsored tutorial's licensing statements are not authority - check the provider's current terms, the plan tier, and platform Content ID behaviour before monetising AI music. (Similar caution applies to "unlimited" plan claims seen in other videos of this batch, e.g. a Hailuo-hosted "unlimited generation" Max plan, R7.)

Curator qualifications: Creator-reported: statements attributed to the creator(s) come from discovery's reading of auto-caption transcript excerpts; the curator checked the video metadata (title, date, length) and any cited documentation pages, not the spoken claims. Nothing was tested; promotional or sponsored framing applies where stated. All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; video metadata checked where cited. Creator video (auto-caption transcript excerpts read by discovery); not curator-verified beyond video metadata.

Limitations: Creator statements were read by discovery from auto-captions (ASR); not re-verified by the curator. Terms versions may differ by date (video Mar 2026; terms page shows Oct 2024 effective date); not legal advice.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
