Short answer

Copyright protection for purely machine-generated content is contested; the nature of the human contribution is decisive. In addition, tool agreements may regulate output rights differently. We structure your production workflow to secure ownership of the rights.

Copyright protection for purely machine-generated content is contested; the nature of the human contribution is decisive. In addition, tool agreements may regulate output rights differently. We structure your production workflow to secure ownership. Turkish law sets the threshold: content is protected under the Law on Intellectual and Artistic Works (FSEK, No. 5846) only where it carries the individual character of the natural person who created it, and output generated wholly automatically usually falls short of that. What makes ownership defensible is therefore recording the human contribution — the prompting, the editing, the selection — and settling the output and usage rights in the tool agreement itself.
