Why do I need to register the AI-generated part as ‘AI BUMASTEMRA’ if no royalties are collected for it?

For every work registration, a composer must be specified. It is not possible to register only a (song) lyric. Since BumaStemra wants to offer members the possibility to register works where they have written the lyrics themselves and the composition was generated by AI, it has been decided that the composition can be registered under AI BumaStemra.

However, this does not mean that BumaStemra collects royalties for the AI-generated part. Technically, it is not possible to register a work without a name, which is why ‘AI BumaStemra’ has been chosen.
