AI & Ownership

Our position, plainly

As between you and Script Junky, you own the output. We claim no rights in your screenplays, chapters, posts, covers or character images. You may use them commercially — sell them, publish them, pitch them, licence them — with no royalty or attribution owed to us.

We do not need to approve your project, and we do not take a cut.

The copyright caveat you need to understand

In the United States and several other jurisdictions, purely AI-generated material is generally NOT eligible for copyright protection, because copyright requires human authorship. That is the law's position, not ours, and we cannot change it.

What that means in practice: the more you shape, rewrite, structure, select and edit the output, the stronger your claim to authorship in the finished work. A draft you generated and then rewrote is a very different thing legally from a draft you generated and published untouched.

If you intend to register copyright, most offices expect you to disclose which parts were AI-generated. Keep a record of your own contribution as you work.

Output is not guaranteed to be unique

AI models are probabilistic. Two users giving similar prompts can receive similar output, and we cannot promise your result is unique or that nobody else has generated something close to it. We also cannot promise output does not resemble existing published work.

Before you publish anything commercially, check it. Run it past a search engine, a plagiarism checker, and — for anything high-stakes — a lawyer.

Voice and style prompts

You can describe a tone, cadence or genre and the AI will write in that register. Describing a style is fine. Passing work off as the genuine output of a real, named person is not, and it may infringe their rights of publicity or amount to misrepresentation.

For that reason our built-in voice presets describe styles rather than name individuals. If you type a real person's name into a voice prompt, that choice and its consequences are yours.

Generated images

The same principles apply to Cover Studio and Cast & Scenes images: you own them as between you and us, they may not attract copyright protection on their own, and you should not use them to depict a real identifiable person without that person's consent.

Accuracy is on you

AI invents confidently. Names, dates, quotes, citations, statistics and legal or medical statements produced by the model may be entirely fabricated. Verify anything factual before it leaves your desk.

Not legal advice

This page is a plain-language explanation, not legal advice. Copyright law around AI is moving quickly and differs by country. For anything that matters commercially, talk to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Questions for us: [email protected].
