Soundkino is now open to everyone.
Every adult listener, performer, and writer can explore public audio and scripts without an invitation. You do not need an account to browse. Create one when you want to publish your own work or take an action that needs accountability.
Opening the doors does not mean treating creative work as a free-for-all. Performances and scripts belong to the people who made them. Soundkino is designed to make work easy to discover while making its boundaries clear.
Protection for audio creators
Creators keep ownership of what they upload. Soundkino receives only the limited license needed to store, display, stream, and operate the service, and creators can delete their work from their account.
Listeners agree to play audio through the Soundkino player—not download, save, scrape, or redistribute it. Automated access, crawling, reverse engineering, and attempts to bypass the player are prohibited. We monitor for abusive access patterns and may suspend accounts or take further action when the rules are deliberately broken.
Soundkino does not train AI models on uploads, and synthetic or AI-generated voices are not allowed. Human voices should not quietly become raw material for somebody else’s model.
If work is copied or reposted without permission, creators can contact team@soundkino.com. We investigate reports, remove infringing material hosted on Soundkino, and help creators identify misuse and prepare a DMCA takedown request where appropriate.
Protection for script writers
Written work needs a different kind of protection because anything visible on a screen can ultimately be retyped or captured. Soundkino therefore focuses on explicit consent, friction, and evidence:
- Writer-controlled permissions. A writer chooses human use, AI use, or both and can add terms covering credit, edits, monetization, reposting, and performance.
- Accountable copying. Copying protected text requires a registered account.
- A declared purpose. Before text reaches the clipboard, the reader declares whether the intended user is a human or an AI.
- Server-side enforcement. Soundkino blocks a declared use that the writer has not permitted.
- Terms at the moment of use. The reader must accept the writer’s terms before copying.
- An audit trail. After the terms are accepted, the confirmation records the account, script, declared use, time, and a one-way hash derived from the network address. The raw address is not stored in the confirmation record.
- Rate limits. Repeated copy attempts are limited to make automated bulk extraction harder.
These controls are not magic DRM, and we will not pretend they are. They cannot make screenshots, transcription, or dishonest behavior impossible. They do make permission visible, require an affirmative choice, add friction to bulk misuse, and preserve evidence that can help moderators and creators respond.
Open does not mean unprotected
The aim is a genuinely open community with meaningful creator control: no invitation gate for adults, no ownership grab, and no assumption that publicly viewable means free to copy.
That balance will keep evolving. We will improve reporting, attribution, permissions, and enforcement as the community grows. The principle stays put: everyone is welcome; creators set the terms for their work.
