Torii House Phonograph Co. values transparency, respect for our audience, and the full legal protection of our creative works and intellectual property.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Torii House Phonograph Co. is an independent label founded by Morgana Meredith Morgenstern, committed to honoring human creativity while embracing modern tools. Certain aspects of our productions, such as visual elements, voice synthesis, or musical arrangements, may involve AI assistance. However, all lyrics, conceptual themes, and overall artistic direction remain original works created under our brand.

Press Coverage

Members of the press are asked to clearly indicate whether coverage refers to the fictional personas as represented by our label or to their nature as artificial constructs, in order to avoid confusion between the branded characters and the underlying artistry.

Character Likeness & Intellectual Property Rights

All character likenesses and related assets are protected under applicable copyright, trademark, and publicity rights laws in Texas and under U.S. federal law. These protections apply to all digital platforms, websites, products, and services operated by or affiliated with Torii House Phonograph Co.

Intellectual Property Protection

Our content, including visual designs, character concepts, branding materials, and proprietary digital creations, is safeguarded under Texas intellectual property statutes (including the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act and Texas Copyright Statute) and federal protections such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or commercial exploitation without prior written consent is strictly prohibited and may result in enforcement actions.

Licensing Requirements

Any third-party use of our likenesses, assets, or intellectual property requires advance licensing without exception. Licensing inquiries should be directed to contact@toriihousephonograph.co.

Enforcement & Takedown Policy

We actively monitor and enforce our intellectual property rights across all platforms. Unauthorized use will result in formal cease-and-desist notices and DMCA takedown requests where applicable. Continued infringement may lead to legal proceedings, financial penalties, and claims for damages.

Fair Use Statement

Torii House Phonograph Co. recognizes and supports fair use under U.S. copyright law for purposes such as commentary, criticism, education, and discussion. Transformative works, such as reviews, analytical content, and creator discussions, may qualify as fair use when limited in scope and clearly distinct from the original material. Uses that are primarily commercial, reproduce substantial portions, or imply affiliation with Torii House Phonograph Co. do not qualify and may be subject to enforcement.

Publishing Disclaimer

Torii House Phonograph Co. operates independently from Morgenstern Publishing, though both entities are owned and managed by Morgana Morgenstern.
