Content & copyright responsibilities
Your content, your responsibility
Users are solely responsible for the content they submit to this service. By uploading, entering, or submitting content, you represent that you own the content or have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to translate, adapt, process, and generate audio or other localized versions of the content.
You agree not to submit copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise protected content without proper authorization. We may remove content or restrict access if we believe it violates intellectual property rights or our policies.
Why this matters
StorySmith translates stories and generates localized narration. Under U.S. copyright law, a translation is specifically listed as a derivative work, and copyright owners hold the exclusive right to authorize derivative works based on their work. Creating a translation or audio adaptation of protected content without permission may infringe those rights.

A note on old stories
Classic fables such as Aesop or the Panchatantra may be in the public domain in general, but a modern English retelling, translation, illustration, or narrationcan still be copyrighted. The safe standard is “public domain, or content you have the rights to use” — not simply “old stories are okay.”
Please only submit content that you own, created yourself, is in the public domain, or that you have permission to translate, adapt, and convert into audio. Do not upload copyrighted books, stories, songs, scripts, articles, or other protected content unless you have the required rights.
