The Problem: Proving You are The Original Creator

In the music industry, timing is everything. If someone claims they wrote your song first, you must show clear, verifiable proof that you created it earlier.

Traditionally, musicians tried two methods:

• Mailing yourself a sealed copy of your work (“poor man’s copyright”)
• Waiting weeks for an official copyright certificate

Both methods have flaws — envelopes can be tampered with, and copyright offices move slowly.

The Blockchain Advantage

Blockchain changes everything for musicians:

• Immutable Records – Once your song’s unique fingerprint (hash) is recorded, it cannot be altered.
• Global Verification – Anyone, anywhere can check the blockchain.
• Permanent Proof – Even if SongProof shut down, your blockchain record lives on.
• Instant Documentation – Proof is locked in within minutes.

How SongProof Uses Blockchain for You

Here’s what happens when you protect your song with SongProof:

1. A cryptographic fingerprint of your music file is created.
2. That fingerprint is sent to two blockchains — Bitcoin and Polygon for redundancy.
3. The blockchain records the exact date and time permanently.
4. Your original file is safely stored in your private vault.

Why This Matters in the Music Business

• Disputes: Prove ownership instantly if challenged.
• Collaborations: Record every version and protect your contributions.
• Pitching: Show labels & publishers you take rights seriously.
