How Can I Protect My Composition?

There are several ways to protect your composition. With these methods, you can legally secure your work and create strong evidence against potential plagiarism cases.

1. Method: Protecting by Uploading the Audio File

You can protect the original version of your composition by recording it as an audio file and uploading it to our system to receive a timestamp. This secures the creation date and content of your music in a digital format. With the timestamp, you can prove who created the work and when. This method officially establishes your rights to the composition and helps you prove ownership to authorities in case of potential plagiarism.

Supported audio file formats include .mp3, .wav, .aiff, and other popular formats. This way, you can securely store your music in digital form and easily provide proof of your work when needed in the future.

2. Method: Protecting by Notating the Music

You can also protect the musical notation of your composition. By notating your work and uploading it as a 'pdf' format, you can secure your composition in both digital and written formats with a timestamp. This method allows you to officially certify your work as a composer in written form, and it serves as an important step to ensure you don’t face any issues with future ownership, especially when introducing your music to a broader audience.

Both methods can be used independently.
