The short version
Share what we post. Don't make your own Carla, and don't use her to sell anything without a signed deal.
- Yes: share, repost, embed and link official Carla Botcoin images and videos, unaltered, with credit to @carlabotcoin.
- No: make new images, video or audio of Carla, or clone her voice, with AI or any other tool, without her explicit written consent.
- No: use the likeness of Carla Bitcoin or Carla Botcoin to advertise, sell, endorse or earn money from anything without a written agreement signed by Carla.
- No: use our images, videos or her voice to train AI, build datasets, or make face or voice models.
- Everything we don't expressly allow below is reserved.
1. Who we are and what this covers
This notice is issued by the creators known professionally as Carla Bitcoin and Walker America (together, "we" or "us"). We work publicly under professional names. Our legal identities are on file with our counsel and will be confirmed to a court, platform or licensee whenever that is needed to license or enforce these rights. It applies to carlabotcoin.com, to @carlabotcoin on X and YouTube, and to every Official Work wherever it appears.
In this notice:
- "Carla" or "Carla Bitcoin" means the real person who works under the professional name Carla Bitcoin. Her rights in her likeness are the same whether she is identified by her professional name or her legal name.
- "Carla Botcoin" means the openly-AI persona made from Carla's face, body and voice with her consent and under her control. Carla Botcoin is part of Carla's likeness, not a separate or free-to-use character.
- "Likeness" means Carla's name and nicknames (including "Carla Bitcoin" and "Carla Botcoin"), face, body, image, photograph, voice, singing voice, signature, mannerisms and persona. It includes any digital replica, simulation, sound-alike or look-alike that a reasonable person would identify as her, however it was made.
- "Official Works" means images, videos, music, audio and text that we publish through the official channels listed in section 7.
- "AI Tools" means any generative AI, machine-learning, face-swap, voice-cloning, deepfake, avatar, lip-sync, or image, video or audio synthesis tool, model or service.
- "Commercial Use" means any use that advertises, promotes, sells or endorses anything; that is sponsored or paid for; that earns money from the work itself (ads around it, paid content, merchandise, tokens or NFTs, subscriptions, affiliate links); or that is made for a business, brand, product or project, including any crypto project.
2. What you may do: share our work
We want Official Works shared. We give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free and revocable permission to:
- share, repost, quote-post and link Official Works, including with the platforms' own share buttons and ours;
- embed our YouTube videos and X posts using the platforms' embed tools;
- post an Official Work in full on your personal social accounts, credited to @carlabotcoin or linked to carlabotcoin.com;
- discuss, review and react to Official Works, quoting short excerpts where the law allows for commentary, criticism or news reporting.
This permission only applies if you:
- Keep it unaltered. No editing that changes what it shows or says: no face-swaps, voice dubbing, AI extension or upscaling with changes, inpainting, splicing or re-captioning that changes its meaning. Ordinary platform resizing and compression are fine.
- Keep the credit and the labels. Don't remove watermarks, credits, AI-generated labels or content-credential (C2PA) metadata.
- Keep it honest. Don't present an Official Work as a real photograph or recording of Carla Bitcoin, as a real event, or as anything other than AI-made.
- Don't imply endorsement. Don't suggest Carla endorses you, your product, your cause or your opinions.
- Keep it out of harmful contexts. No sexual or pornographic settings, harassment, hate, defamation, political campaigning, scams or anything illegal.
- Keep it non-commercial. Ordinary posts on your own account are fine even if the platform pays you for engagement. Ads, sponsored posts, paid products, compilations and full re-uploads to other channels made to earn money are not. Share the link or embed instead of re-uploading our videos.
We can withdraw this permission for any particular use, at any time, by asking you to take it down.
3. What no one may do without Carla's written consent
Carla has consented to her AI likeness being made only by us, only for Official Works. No one else is authorized to create or use her likeness. Without Carla's explicit prior written consent, you may not:
- Generate her. Make new images, video, audio, music or text that depict or imitate Carla Bitcoin or Carla Botcoin, with AI Tools or any other method. This includes prompts that name her, reference images of her, or "in the style of Carla Botcoin".
- Clone her voice. Synthesize, clone or imitate her speaking or singing voice, or make a sound-alike.
- Alter our work. Face-swap, deepfake, morph, animate, lip-sync, extend, inpaint, outpaint or remix any Official Work.
- Model her. Create, share or sell character models, LoRAs, face IDs, embeddings, avatars, voice models or "consistent character" presets of her.
- Impersonate her. Run accounts, chatbots, AI companions, livestreams, calls or messages that pose as Carla Bitcoin or Carla Botcoin.
- Sexualize her. Make or share nude, intimate or sexually explicit content of her, however it is labelled.
- Use her for causes or schemes. Use her in political ads or fundraising, or in scams, fraud, phishing, coin or token launches, giveaways or financial promotions.
- Take her name. Register domains, usernames, business names or trademarks that use "Carla Botcoin", "Carla Bitcoin" or anything confusingly similar.
- Strip the labels. Remove or falsify AI labels, credits or provenance data on any Official Work.
What counts as consent. Consent must be in writing, signed by Carla personally, and specific to the use. It is never implied by silence, by a work being public, by tagging us, by payment, by our reposting your work, or by consent given to someone else.
Your other rights. Nothing here takes away rights the law gives you, such as fair use, commentary or parody. Those rights are narrow. They do not cover realistic replicas that could be mistaken for her, or using her to sell things.
4. No AI training, datasets or scraping
No one may use Official Works, the content of carlabotcoin.com, or Carla's likeness to train, fine-tune, evaluate or condition any AI model. That includes building datasets, embeddings, or face or voice recognition templates.
- No scraping. Crawling, bulk downloading or automated collection of our site or channels for these purposes is not allowed.
- Rights reserved. This notice is our express reservation of rights against text and data mining, including under Article 4(3) of the EU Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive and similar laws elsewhere.
- Biometric data. Her face and voice are biometric identifiers. Processing them to recognize or replicate her needs her explicit consent under laws such as the GDPR and the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act.
- Already collected? If you have already collected our material for any of these purposes, delete it, and any model trained on it, when we ask.
5. Commercial use needs a signed agreement
Any Commercial Use of the likeness of Carla Bitcoin or Carla Botcoin, or of any Official Work, needs a written license agreement signed by Carla before the use begins.
That covers, for example:
- ads, sponsored posts, brand integrations, product placement and testimonials;
- merchandise, print-on-demand, games, apps, filters and digital goods, including tokens and NFTs;
- music releases, film and TV, events, book covers and publications;
- thumbnails, intros or channel art for monetized channels;
- any AI-generated content of her, for any business purpose.
No DM, email, verbal promise or online checkout creates a license. Only a signed agreement does, and it covers only the uses, term and territory it names.
To ask about working with Carla, email hi@carlabotcoin.com or visit carlabotcoin.com/work. We decide case by case. We don't do coin pitches, price talk or giveaways.
6. Ownership and reserved rights
- Her likeness is hers. Carla owns and keeps every right in her name, likeness, voice and persona, including her rights of publicity and privacy and any digital-replica rights, under the laws of every state and country. The Carla Botcoin persona is part of that likeness.
- Our works are ours. We own or control the rights in Official Works, including copyright in their human-authored parts (selection, arrangement, editing, music, writing).
- Our names and marks. "Carla Botcoin", "Carla Bitcoin", @carlabotcoin, the Carla Botcoin wordmark and our logos are our trademarks.
- Copyright limits don't open the door. Some AI-made material may have limited copyright protection. That does not make it free to use: her right of publicity, trademark law and this notice still apply to it.
- No implied license. Except the sharing permission in section 2, nothing grants you any right. Viewing, downloading, embedding or buying anything from us does not either. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
7. Openly AI, official channels, no advice
- Openly AI. Carla Botcoin is an AI persona. Official Works are made with AI Tools, with Carla's consent, and reviewed and approved by Carla and Walker before they are published. They do not show real events.
- No endorsements. Carla Botcoin does not endorse any product, person, coin or project, unless we clearly label a paid partnership on our official channels.
- No financial advice. Nothing we publish is financial, investment, legal or tax advice.
- She will never ask you for anything. Carla Botcoin will never ask you for money, crypto, wallet keys or passwords, never runs giveaways, and never offers deals by DM. Anyone who does is an impersonator; please report them.
- Official channels. Only these are us: carlabotcoin.com, x.com/carlabotcoin, youtube.com/@carlabotcoin and hi@carlabotcoin.com. Anything else is not.
8. Reporting misuse and enforcement
Report it. Send the link and a screenshot to hi@carlabotcoin.com.
Notice to platforms and hosts. This is actual notice that Carla has not consented to any replica of her likeness other than Official Works. Any other AI-generated depiction of her is unauthorized unless the person posting it can show her signed consent.
What we may do. We may ask you to remove the material, file takedown requests with platforms, and take legal action, including:
- copyright takedown notices under the DMCA for copies of Official Works;
- privacy and likeness complaints, including through YouTube's likeness-detection tools;
- removal requests under the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act, which requires covered platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate images, including AI forgeries, within 48 hours;
- claims under right-of-publicity and digital-replica laws, such as Tennessee's ELVIS Act, California Civil Code § 3344, New York Civil Rights Law §§ 50–51 and the Illinois Right of Publicity Act;
- claims for false endorsement under the Lanham Act, trademark infringement, unfair competition, consumer protection, defamation and false light;
- claims under the laws of other countries where the misuse happens.
We may seek injunctions, damages, your profits, statutory damages and attorneys' fees where the law allows. If we wait to act, we have not waived any right.
9. General terms
