TL-9827 licence
Documented
A music licence, is not selling your track.
You remain the rights holder. You simply allow a person or organisation to use your music under set conditions.
What use?
Clearly define what the licensee is allowed to do.
For how long?
Frame the authorisation with a duration suited to the project.
In which territory?
Limit or extend the geographical area of usage.
At what price?
A licence can be free or come with a fee.
Who is it for?
Clearly identify the beneficiary of the authorisation.
Licence ≠ necessarily monetisation
You can authorise a use without necessarily selling it.
This is precisely why TuneLockr separates licensing logic from simple monetisation.
Permission may be free of charge for a specific project, whilst another licence may be paid for commercial use.

Context matters
A clear licence is better than a simple 'yes in a message'.
Saying 'you can use my track' leaves many questions unanswered: where, for how long, in what context, and with what limits?
The licence helps to maintain a framework around the permission given.

Before the licence
Start by documenting the creation you are going to license.
A licence concerns a specific work. TuneLockr also allows you to register the creation, generate its fingerprint, timestamp it, and link it to your co-creators.

The licence becomes the bridge between proof of creation and its exploitation.

What is a music licence? +
A music licence is an authorisation allowing a third party to use a work under defined conditions.
Does a licence mean I am selling my rights? +
Not necessarily. A licence can simply authorise certain uses while the other rights remain with the rights holder.
Can a licence be free of charge? +
Yes. You can authorise free use with a licence set at a price of €0.
Can a licence be paid? +
Yes. A licence can include payment when your music is used commercially or for a fee.
Discover monetisation →Can I limit the duration of the authorisation? +
Yes. Duration is one of the elements that can be included in a music licence.
Can I restrict the territory? +
A licence can be defined for a specific area or territory that suits the relevant project.
Should I protect my music before licensing it? +
Documenting the creation you are licensing beforehand helps keep clearer records about the relevant work.
Find out about protection →What is the difference between licensing and monetising? +
Licensing means authorising a use. Monetising means associating payment with that use. A licence can therefore exist without payment.
Will monitoring use licences? +
The intended logic is to be able to compare detected usages with known licences and authorisations. The musical monitoring is still shown as coming soon.

Your music, your terms
No longer just give your consent. Set your licence.
Choose the work, the use, the duration, the territory and the terms. Free or for payment.
A music licence enables you to set out precisely how a work can be used: type of use, duration, territory, relevant media and financial terms. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) reminds us that using the same piece of music may require different permissions depending on the rights involved and the way the work is used. TuneLockr makes it possible to formalise these permissions to make authorised uses clearer for both the creator and licensee.
At an international level, the CISAC brings together authors' societies involved in managing rights and paying creators across more than a hundred countries. A TuneLockr licence does not replace collective management mechanisms when they apply: it allows you to clearly document the permissions granted directly in relation to a work.
