As we have received a number of comments and concerns regarding the sale of AI-generated works, the registration of such works shall be processed as follows.
* As of May 11, 2023, DLsite is only accepting registration applications for AI-generated works of Novel or Game formats.
- Even if a desired release date is set for an AI work, registration of such AI works will not be prioritized.
- DLsite will not respond to inquiries regarding the release date or registration status of AI-generated works. Please wait for the work to be released.
- Registrations will be processed in order of earliest application. As such, new AI-generated works may take longer to be registered and become available for purchase.
- There is a limit of one AI-generated work registration application per month.
Ex.
One registration application on April 30 and one on May 1 is permitted.
One registration application on April 1 and one on April 30 is NOT permitted.
Two registration applications on April 1 for release in different months is NOT permitted.
* The application limit applies to the date of application, and not the work's desired release date.
Furthermore, registrations will be rejected in the event of the following cases.
- The work is AI-generated in a format other than Novel or Game (*)
- The circle has exceeded the 1 per-month AI work registration application limit (excluding announcements)
- The work contains characters that appear to imitate real people.
- The work does not contain the ""AI-generated"" or ""Partial AI Use"" tag (Please see here for details on the difference between these tags)
- The product description does not make clear what elements and to what degree AI has been used for the work.
* DLsite does not currently permit the sale of works in which the main content of the work is determined to be AI-generated content. If a game contains little gameplay or a visual-novel contains little text, it may be determined that AI-generated images are the main selling point of the work, and sale of the work may not be permitted.
For further details, please see [ this ] page.
Circles found to be in repeated violation of the above restrictions, or making extra circles to circumvent the 1 per-month AI work registration limit may have all future registrations rejected.
DLsite may further alter the process of registering AI-generated works as deemed necessary.
Thank you for your understanding.
