Compositions and recordings
As with songs, music carries two copyrights: the composition (Form PA) and the sound recording (Form SR), registered at copyright.gov. Instrumentals, beats, and productions are all protectable original works.
Producers and beatmakers: the leasing problem
Beats get sent out as previews, leased to multiple artists, and shared on marketplaces and social media. That's a recipe for "who made this beat" disputes and unlicensed use. Formal registration of every beat is impractical when you produce dozens a week.
Timestamp beats and stems as you make them
A blockchain timestamp is fast enough to fit a producer's workflow. Drop a beat, stems, or project bounce into BlockchainSign — the SHA-256 fingerprint is computed in your browser, recorded on Ethereum, and returned as a lifetime certificate. You get dated, tamper-proof proof that your exact file existed before you sent any preview, without filing paperwork for each one. Register the tracks that matter commercially, and timestamp everything.
