How to protect my music with TuneLockr ?

You create an account, upload your file (audio, text, partition, PDF) and then immediately receive a certificate blockchain timestamped consistent with eIDAS, which proves your anteriority in the event of a dispute.

Is a TuneLockr certificate legally valid in court?

Yes. The eIDAS-compliant blockchain timestamp provides reliable proof of anteriority, which is used as evidence in cases of plagiarism or copyright infringement.

What types of files can I protect ?

You can protect your songs, beats, models, stems, or projects MAO, lyrics, scores, contracts, PDF and any document to prove that your creation.

What is the difference between TuneLockr and the SACEM ?

TuneLockr provides proof of anteriority for your work via a blockchain certificate, while SACEM manages your rights and royalties once your music is distributed. Both are complementary.

TuneLockr Proof™ Music file analysis & proof of prior art verification

In just a few seconds, check whether your music file can serve as a valid proof of prior art in the event of a music plagiarism or a copyright dispute. TuneLockr Proof analyses your audio file or document locally to identify its technical elements and prepare your protection.

Our tool analyses your file’s structure (beat, song, stems, PDF or music project), reads metadata, and generates a cryptographic fingerprint to assess the strength of your proof.

📜 eIDAS Regulation & electronic evidence

Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, known as eIDAS, sets out in particular the value of trust services and electronic evidence within the European Union. In this context, a qualified electronic timestamp or strong proof of integrity can enhance the value of a file. A prior art certificate backed by a blockchain fits within this logic by providing a certain date and a unique file fingerprint.

🔐 CNIL, personal data & music files

The files you analyse may contain personal data (names, voices, contracts, etc.). This tool operates using local analysis : no data is transmitted to TuneLockr. When you share files yourself (demos, contracts, stems), remember to respect the CNIL principles of CNIL : data minimisation, exchange security and access control.

⚖️ Important: what this tool is NOT

This tool does not provide legal advice and does not itself constitute proof of prior art. It does not automatically detect musical plagiarism and does not compare your work to a database of existing pieces. It helps you assess your file's evidential preparation and to understand why a proof of prior art certificate (for example via TuneLockr) can be useful in a plagiarism case.

Reliability comparison of key “evidence” types

Type of “evidence”	Reliability	Easy to alter?	Use in court
Send an MP3 to yourself by email	⭐	Yes	Fragile, questionable
Screenshots & system dates	⭐⭐	Yes	Weak, needs to be completed
Uncertified contract or PDF	⭐⭐	Yes	Varies depending on the context
TuneLockr certificate of prior existence (blockchain)	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	No, fixed fingerprint	Strong technical evidence

This tool is provided for information and educational purposes only. It does not replace legal advice and does not, in itself, constitute proof of prior existence. To strengthen a case of plagiarism or musical copyright infringement, consult a legal professional and complete your approach with a timestamped certificate (such as those offered by TuneLockr).

Understand and strengthen the value of your musical evidence

Analysing your file is an essential first step in assessing the technical reliability of your evidence. It helps to identify useful elements (fingerprint, metadata, structure) as well as any possible weaknesses. To fully secure your work, it is recommended to complete this analysis with a time-stamped certificate of prior existence.

1. Why analyse a music file?

Before taking any protective action, it is important to check whether your file provides a reliable basis. A technical analysis allows you to:

Check the presence and consistency of metadata
Generate a cryptographic fingerprint (SHA-256)
Identify potential weaknesses in the file
Prepare a usable case in the event of a dispute

2. Proof of prior existence: a key element in case of dispute

In the event of conflict or plagiarism, simply claiming authorship is not enough: you must be able to prove it. Judges particularly consider:

Verifiable prior existence of the creation
Technical consistency of the evidence provided

Raw files (MP3s, exports, screenshots) are often easily challenged if they are not accompanied by solid evidence.

3. When should you analyse your file?

Ideally before any broadcast or sharing :

Before sending a beat or a demo
Before a collaboration (stems / project)
Before sending to a label or publisher
Before publication (Spotify, YouTube, social media)

4. The limits of conventional evidence

MP3 / WAV : editable, with no reliable timestamp
System dates : can be falsified in seconds
Screenshots : not legally admissible on their own
E-mails : easily contested

Without analysis or certification, these elements remain insufficient in a legal context.

5. Why add a TuneLockr certificate

TuneLockr lets you transform your file into a proof of anteriority time-stamped, based on a tamper-proof cryptographic fingerprint stored on the Tezos blockchain, in line with best practices (eIDAS, CNIL).
