Music licences

Monetise your music. Without losing control.

Monetise your music with TuneLockr is about creating free or paid licences, to precisely decide the permitted uses and to share your terms directly with a client, brand or creator. Each licence is anchored on the blockchain Tezos, just like your protected works.

Set your price Choose usages Blockchain-anchored licence
The Licences module is available. Your protected works can serve directly as the basis for your licences, which are themselves anchored on the blockchain.

Your music. Your terms.

Monetising your music means authorising its use. Not giving up your rights.

A licence sets the boundaries for the specific use of your creation. You decide who can have it, in which context, for how long, and under which conditions. The principle is similar to licensing rights as defined by theWorld Intellectual Property Organization : allowing precise uses without giving up ownership of the work.

Your price

Grant permission for free or set your required amount.

Your duration

Decide up to when usage is allowed.

Your territory

Set geographic limits for the use of your work.

Usages

Video, advertising, social networks, film, video games and other projects.

AI rights

Allow or refuse the AI uses covered by the licence.

The anchoring

Each licence is anchored on the blockchain, not just stored in a database.

How does it work

From a protected work to an active licence.

The module integrates directly with the TuneLockr catalogue: you start with an already protected creation, then set the authorisation terms.

View the status of your licences and track their lifecycle from your TuneLockr dashboard.

Pending

Proposed licence

The recipient must still accept the terms or make their payment.

Active

Licence enabled & anchored

The accepted terms are anchored on the blockchain and recorded in the licence history.

Expired

Term completed

The licence comes to an end on the defined date.

Revoked

Licence revoked

The status changes but the anchoring and history of the licence are retained.

LICENCE & ANCHORING

Keep a record tamper-proof and secure.

Once the licence is accepted, its exact terms (usage, territory, duration, AI rights) are anchored on the blockchain, as well as being stored in your account — the same principle as with your protected works. The document and its history remain accessible, and the anchoring can still be verified independently of TuneLockr on a public blockchain explorer ↗.

Yes. The module allows for both free licences and paid licences.

How does the blockchain anchoring of a licence actually help me?

The exact terms agreed (usage, territory, duration, AI rights) are anchored on Tezos at the moment of acceptance. In case of any dispute over what was agreed, this record can be independently verified on a public blockchain explorer ↗, without relying solely on the TuneLockr database. The exact scope of this evidence is specified in our Terms & Conditions.

Will I be able to revoke or renew a licence?

The planned process includes managing the status of the licence as well as preserving its history and anchoring.
