The rule: protect first, share after.\"}},\n {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are song lyrics automatically protected by copyright?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes \u2014 song lyrics are protected by copyright as soon as they are written, without any formality, under the Berne Convention ratified by 180+ countries. But this automatic protection is not provable without a dated proof of creation. If someone claims your lyrics are theirs, you need a timestamped document that proves you wrote them first. That's exactly what TuneLockr provides: an irrefutable proof of lyric ownership, dated to the second.\"}},\n {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I protect song lyrics before they are set to music?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes \u2014 song lyrics are protected by copyright independently from the music. You can deposit lyrics on TuneLockr as a standalone text file (PDF, TXT, DOCX), even before you've found a composer or melody. In fact, this is the recommended approach: protect your lyrics before any co-writing session with a musician.\"}},\n {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How to protect song lyrics in a co-writing situation?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Before any co-writing session, deposit your existing lyric contribution on TuneLockr \u2014 full draft, chorus, verse, or topline. This dated deposit clearly establishes what you brought to the table before the session. If a dispute arises about who wrote what, your TuneLockr certificate proves your contribution predated the collaboration.\"}},\n {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How to protect ghost-written lyrics?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"For ghostwriters: always deposit your lyrics on TuneLockr before delivering them to the artist. Even if you're contractually transferring the rights, your proof of authorship remains your permanent record. If the artist ever disputes the terms of the agreement or claims they wrote the lyrics, your timestamped certificate proves you created them first. Never deliver ghost-written lyrics without protecting them first.\"}},\n {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is emailing myself lyrics enough protection?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. Emailing yourself lyrics is not considered strong proof in most legal situations. The timestamp can be questioned and the link between the email and the actual file can be disputed. TuneLockr uses Tezos blockchain to create an immutable, independently verifiable proof \u2014 far more reliable than a self-email.\"}}\n ]}\n <\/script>\n\n <style>\n

But this automatic protection is not provable without a dated proof. If someone claims your lyrics are theirs, you need a timestamped document proving you wrote them first. That's what TuneLockr provides.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"fi\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n <button class=\"fq\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Can I protect song lyrics before they are set to music?<\/span><span class=\"fi2\">+<\/span><\/button>\n <div class=\"fa\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n <p itemprop=\"text\">Yes \u2014 <strong>song lyrics<\/strong> are protected by copyright independently from the music. Deposit your lyrics on TuneLockr as a standalone text file (PDF, TXT, DOCX), even before you've found a composer or melody. This is the recommended approach: protect your lyrics before any co-writing session with a musician.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"fi\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n <button class=\"fq\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><span itemprop=\"name\">How to protect song lyrics in a co-writing situation?<\/span><span class=\"fi2\">+<\/span><\/button>\n <div class=\"fa\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n <p itemprop=\"text\">Before any co-writing session, deposit your existing lyric contribution on TuneLockr \u2014 full draft, chorus, verse, or topline. This dated deposit clearly establishes what you brought before the session. If a dispute arises about who wrote what, your certificate proves your contribution predated the collaboration.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"fi\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n <button class=\"fq\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><span itemprop=\"name\">How to protect ghost-written lyrics?<\/span><span class=\"fi2\">+<\/span><\/button>\n <div class=\"fa\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n <p itemprop=\"text\">For ghostwriters: always deposit your <strong>song lyrics<\/strong> on TuneLockr before delivering to the artist. Even if you're transferring rights contractually, your proof of authorship is your permanent record. If the artist disputes the terms or claims they wrote the lyrics, your timestamped certificate proves you created them first.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"fi\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n <button class=\"fq\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Is emailing myself lyrics enough protection?<\/span><span class=\"fi2\">+<\/span><\/button>\n <div class=\"fa\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n <p itemprop=\"text\">No. Emailing yourself <strong>song lyrics<\/strong> is not considered strong proof in most disputes. The timestamp can be challenged and the link between the email and the actual file is easily disputed. TuneLockr uses Tezos blockchain for an immutable, independently verifiable proof \u2014 far more reliable.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2>More resources<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"mg\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/tunelockr.com\/how-to-protect-your-music\/\" class=\"mc\" rel=\"follow\">\n <div class=\"mc-cat\">Pillar guide<\/div><h4>How to protect your music<\/h4><p>Complete guide 2026.<\/p><span class=\"mc-a\">Read \u2192<\/span>\n <\/a>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/tunelockr.com\/how-to-protect-a-beat\/\" class=\"mc\" rel=\"follow\">\n <div class=\"mc-cat\">Beats<\/div><h4>How to protect a beat<\/h4><p>Guide for producers.<\/p><span class=\"mc-a\">Read \u2192<\/span>\n <\/a>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/tunelockr.com\/comment-proteger-les-paroles-dune-chanson\/\" class=\"mc\" rel=\"follow\">\n <div class=\"mc-cat\">Paroles (FR)<\/div><h4>Prot\u00e9ger les paroles<\/h4><p>Guide complet FR.<\/p><span class=\"mc-a\">Lire \u2192<\/span>\n <\/a>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/tunelockr.com\/proteger-ses-textes-de-chanson\/\" class=\"mc\" rel=\"follow\">\n <div class=\"mc-cat\">Textes (FR)<\/div><h4>Prot\u00e9ger ses textes<\/h4><p>Guide ghostwriters FR.<\/p><span class=\"mc-a\">Lire \u2192<\/span>\n <\/a>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/tunelockr.com\/2025\/07\/27\/3-methodes-proteger-un-fichier-audio\/\" class=\"mc\" rel=\"follow\">\n <div class=\"mc-cat\">Audio<\/div><h4>Protect an audio file<\/h4><p>3 legal methods.<\/p><span class=\"mc-a\">Read \u2192<\/span>\n <\/a>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/tunelockr.com\/pricing\/\" class=\"mc\" rel=\"follow\">\n <div class=\"mc-cat\">Pricing<\/div><h4>TuneLockr Pricing<\/h4><p>All plans and options.<\/p><span class=\"mc-a\">See \u2192<\/span>\n <\/a>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/app.tunelockr.com\" class=\"mc\" rel=\"follow\">\n <div class=\"mc-cat\">\u2b50 Action<\/div><h4>Protect my lyrics now<\/h4><p>1st deposit free, no CC.<\/p><span class=\"mc-a\">Start \u2192<\/span>\n <\/a>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/beathoven.tv\/proteger-sa-musique\/\" class=\"mc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n <div class=\"mc-cat\">Beathoven<\/div><h4>Prot\u00e9ger sa musique<\/h4><p>Guide Beathoven 2026.<\/p><span class=\"mc-a\">Lire \u2192<\/span>\n <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"sml\" style=\"margin-top:14px\">Official sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wipo.int\/copyright\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WIPO \u2014 Copyright<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copyright.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Copyright Office<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ascap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ASCAP<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BMI<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prsformusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PRS for Music<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu\/en\/policies\/eidas-regulation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eIDAS Regulation<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<script>\n document.querySelectorAll(\".fq\").forEach(b=>{b.addEventListener(\"click\",()=>{const i=b.closest(\".fi\"),o=i.classList.contains(\"open\");document.querySelectorAll(\".fi\").forEach(x=>{x.classList.remove(\"open\");x.querySelector(\".fq\").setAttribute(\"aria-expanded\",\"false\")});if(!o){i.classList.add(\"open\");b.setAttribute(\"aria-expanded\",\"true\")}})});\n<\/script>\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f44ba1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4f44ba1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{"content_width":"boxed"}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb71c8a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cb71c8a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{"content_width":"boxed"}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a94737 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1a94737\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
