About Public People Music

This is a working draft. These legal texts have not yet been reviewed by a lawyer and are not final — they will be reviewed and finalized before public launch.

These terms apply to the Public People network and all of its sites and subdomains, including the site you are currently on (music.music.thepublicpeople.com).

Last updated: [LEGAL_EFFECTIVE_DATE — set before launch]

Public People Music is one site in the Public People network — a set of niche sites, each built on the same engine, that automatically assemble public profiles of public figures from openly available sources.

We are an aggregator of open data, not a data broker: every fact we publish is linked to the public source it came from, and our profiles are meant to be corrected, claimed, and improved over time — not treated as a final verdict on anyone.

What this platform is

Public People Music builds profiles for public figures — people whose professional activity is already a matter of public record — using structured open data and openly licensed encyclopedic text, cited source by source (see the "Data sources" list below for exactly which sources this niche draws on). We do not investigate private individuals, and we do not buy or sell personal data.

This positions Public People similarly to open reference catalogues like MusicBrainz, Discogs, or AllMusic: a public record assembled from cited sources, kept up to date, and open to correction by the people it describes.

How we collect and credit sources

Every fact on a profile links to where it came from. Structured facts (e.g. career milestones, dates, achievements) typically come from open structured databases, many under CC0 (public-domain-equivalent) terms that are reusable without restriction. Biographical text is adapted from openly licensed encyclopedic sources that require attribution; we credit them visibly wherever we use them.

Photos and other media are embedded or linked from their original source rather than re-hosted, and each carries its own licence and attribution where required — see the "Data sources" list below for exactly which sources this niche uses, and under what licence.

AI disclosure

Parts of this profile — the written biography and the short "highlights" — are generated and organized by AI from the cited sources. The AI does not invent facts: it summarizes and structures information that is already sourced, and every underlying fact still links to where it came from.

AI-generated text is not itself an independently verified fact, and we never present it as one. If you spot an error or an AI-generated summary that misrepresents its sources, please use the report form below.

Accuracy

Profiles on Public People Music are assembled automatically and may be incomplete, outdated, or contain errors — especially soon after a profile is first created. We do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any profile.

If something is wrong, please tell us: use the report form to request a correction, and we will review it.

Claim your profile

If you are the subject of a profile (or represent them), you can claim it to take direct control: correct facts, add context, and manage your own page. Claiming does not require removing anything the public record already shows — it lets you own and improve it.

Use the "Claim your profile" link on any profile page, or the report form below, to get started.
