The Rest
Vol26, Issue 14 Smaller Changes
Officially pouring one out for Sora: In our recent pull, Sora's policy page is now redirected to 'What to know about Sora's discontinuation'. Please review this and retrieve any data you need before it sunsets forever.
New Section 12, “Community Localization.” Contributors who submit translations “irrevocably assign, transfer, and convey to Midjourney” all rights and IP and “waive any moral rights”. The language sounds strong, but this is highly standard for contributor / localization programs and affects volunteer translators — not creators, prompts, outputs, training rights, or generated-content ownership. Reported for completeness; low priority.
First clean capture (prior was a reCAPTCHA wall). Relevant to the VFX/post audience (TrueSync / DeepEditor visual dubbing): Licensee owns its Output, Flawless “will not use Licensee Materials or Output for machine learning purposes or to train its artificial intelligence tools”, an explicit anti-deepfake restriction, and a 12-month post-termination data-retention window.
Clarifies that audio fed to the music models is “Input” and generated audio is “Output” under the underlying agreement, and adds a “Music Models” definition. Low-impact but relevant to AI-music creators’ ownership posture.
New AI Features clause: the Services “may comprise or include artificial intelligence (‘AI’) features or functionality”, with processing of Customer Data by those features only in accordance with the customer’s documented instructions. Separately, the defined term “Content” (SFDC-supplied third-party content) and its warranty/access sections were removed throughout, suggesting that offering is being retired from the master agreement.
The “Web & App Activity” control is renamed to “Search Services History” / “Personalized Recommendations in Search services,” and the audio/visual-capture language broadened — users can now “interact with many Google services using your device’s microphone or camera, or by uploading multimedia”, with the “Hey Google” recording described across services rather than just Search/Assistant/Maps.
