TuneLockr Proof™ · Local analysis

TuneLockr Proof™ Analyse your file before it is shared.

Music plagiarism scan & proof preparation

Analyse the technical elements of your music file in seconds: metadata, structure, and cryptographic fingerprint. The aim is not to automatically declare a track plagiarised, but to better document the version you have today before a share, collaboration, or broadcast.

Analyse my file ↓ Understand the process

ANALYSIS File structure

Format, technical information, and elements available in the file.

METADATA Embedded information

Read the metadata without confusing it with proof of authorship.

FINGERPRINT SHA-256 hash

A fingerprint precisely identifies this version of the file.

REPORT Analysis summary

Keep the technical results with your creation dossier.

Important

A technical analysis alone does not prove the authorship of a work and does not determine plagiarism. It helps you document the file and build a clearer timeline.

After the analysis

An analysed file is a good start. A verifiable timeline goes further.

The scanner describes the file you have in hand. To strengthen your file, the next step is to create a dated reference point associated with this version and then track usage as it begins to circulate.

01 ANALYZE

Understand the file

Structure, metadata, SHA-256 fingerprint, and technical report.

You are here

02 PROTECT

Create a dated proof

Associate this version with a fingerprint, a timestamp, and a certificate to keep with your file.

03 MONITOR

Monitor usage

Once your music is out there, TuneLockr can centralise potential matches to examine in their context.

Why analyse?

The file contains useful information. But they do not all hold the same value.

A system date, an ID3 tag or the name of a file can help reconstruct a timeline, but they should not be presented as automatic legal proof.

Nur Werke, die gemeinfrei sind (Urheber seit mehr als 70 Jahren verstorben), dürfen frei verwendet werden. Für jede andere Nutzung eines geschützten Werks ist die Genehmigung des Urhebers und/oder Produzenten erforderlich und die entsprechenden Rechte müssen bezahlt werden. Gesetzliche Ausnahmen (kurzes Zitat, privater Gebrauch, Parodie) sind sehr begrenzt. Precisely identifies a given file.
Metadata Provides context, but can be altered.
Source files Sessions, stems, and successive versions can document the creative process.
Independent timestamp Can complete the timeline by associating data with a specific moment.

The right time

Analyse and document before the file leaves your control.

stammt aus dem angelsächsischen Raum. In Frankreich existiert dieses Konzept rechtlich nicht – man spricht von Before sending a beat

Artist, client, marketplace, or producer.

🤝 Before collaborating

Topline, stems, demo, or production session.

📤 Before a pitch

Label, publisher, manager, media, or music supervisor.

▶️ Before publication

Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or distribution.

After release

The proof documents the before. Monitoring helps you observe the after.

When a work starts to circulate, the issue changes: it's not just about knowing when your file existed, but also identifying potential matches that appear online.

TuneLockr organises these signals in a verification logic: a detected match is not automatically plagiarism, counterfeiting, or unauthorised use.

Signal

A detection is a signal to be contextualised.

Official sources

Understand the digital evidence.

WIPO Evidence of creation, deposits, and digital timestamps. ↗ EUR-Lex · eIDAS Article 41 on the legal effect of electronic timestamps. ↗

WIPO notably points out that a timestamp can be used to document the status of digital content at a given time. The eIDAS regulation specifies that an electronic timestamp cannot be denied legal effect solely because it is electronic.

TuneLockr Proof™ — File analysis & evidence preparation

This tool locally analyses certain technical elements of an audio file or document in order to better prepare your creation file before dissemination, collaboration, or litigation.

This fingerprint precisely identifies the bytes of this version of the file. If the file changes, its fingerprint also changes.

Understand the limits of the analysis

📜 eIDAS Regulation & electronic evidence

The eIDAS regulation stipulates that an electronic timestamp cannot be denied legal effect or admissibility as evidence solely because it is electronic. Electronic timestamps benefit benefit from additional presumptions. The TuneLockr analysis shown here is not, by itself, a qualified electronic timestamp.

🔐 CNIL, personal data & music files

The analysed files may contain personal data. The file content is processed locally by the browser for this analysis and is not uploaded to TuneLockr. This does not constitute, in itself, GDPR or CNIL compliance certification for all of your own processing or file exchanges.

⚖️ Important: what this tool is NOT

This tool does not provide legal advice and does not, by itself, constitute proof of precedence. It does not automatically detect music plagiarism and does not compare your work to a database of existing compositions. It helps you document certain technical elements and identify what might usefully complete your file.

What role can different pieces of evidence play?

Element	What it can document	Main limitation
Dated email or message	A trace of transmission or chronology	To be placed in the complete context of the file
System dates / metadata	Technical or contextual information	Can be modified and do not prove authorship on their own
Source files / sessions / stems	The creative process and the evolution of versions	Must be kept and linked to a coherent timeline
SHA-256 fingerprint	The exact identity of a given file	Does not provide an independent date on its own
Certificate TuneLockr	A fingerprint associated with a dated reference point	Remains an element of the file; its scope depends on context and jurisdiction

This tool is provided for informational and educational purposes. It describes certain technical elements of the file but does not determine the authorship of a work, the existence of plagiarism, or the outcome of a dispute. For an important case or an active conflict, preserve your source files, communications, and contracts, create a dated point of reference if useful, and consult a legal professional in the relevant jurisdiction.
