ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY:

- NO Remixes: Unauthorized remixes or "bootlegs" of protected tracks.
- NO Soundalikes ("Same Tone"): Content generated to deliberately mimic the voice, style, or identity of specific real-world artists (e.g., "AI Drake", "AI Taylor Swift") is strictly forbidden as it violates publicity rights and Stripe's IP policies.
