For Music Creators

Made it. Mixed it. Mastered it.
Prove it.

Built for working music creators. Provlyn anchors every track, stem, and version to RFC 3161 timestamps and the Bitcoin blockchain — turning your creative timeline into permanent, court-admissible evidence.

Provlyn

The question is rarely "did you write this".

It is "can you prove when". Music creators face authorship disputes more often than almost any other creative profession — and the cases that succeed or fail almost always come down to the same thing: who can prove their version existed first.

Provlyn gives you cryptographic, court-admissible proof of every track, stem, and version — at the exact moment of creation. Not a vague memory. Not a screenshot. Real, verifiable evidence anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain.

What history teaches us

The most-cited authorship disputes in music history have all turned on the same problem — proving when a creative work existed. Industry-changing cases that better proof systems would have settled before they began.

1983

Selle v. Gibb

"How Deep Is Your Love"

A songwriter alleged the Bee Gees had copied his unpublished work. The federal jury initially found infringement, but the verdict was overturned on appeal — because the plaintiff could not prove the defendants had ever had access to his song, and he had no record his composition existed when he claimed.

The lesson
Without independent proof of creation date, a claim can fail regardless of its underlying merits.
1976

Bright Tunes v. Harrisongs

"My Sweet Lord"

George Harrison was found to have "subconsciously" copied an earlier song. The court accepted Harrison did not deliberately infringe — but with no records of the independent development of either work, the case dragged on for years and ended in a costly settlement.

The lesson
Authorship disputes can succeed even without intent. Documentation of the creative process is the only defence.
1990

Queen / Bowie v. Vanilla Ice

"Ice Ice Baby"

A sampling dispute that became one of the most-cited cases in music history. Settled out of court when no defensible record could be produced of independent musical development. Ended with co-writer credits and royalties paid.

The lesson
Sample disputes hinge on what can be proven about the timeline. No timeline means no defence.

These cases are referenced for educational context only. Provlyn takes no position on the merits of any historical or current dispute.

Built for the way the music industry actually works

From sample disputes to AI claims — proof that stands up.

SAMPLES

Sample disputes

When a sample dispute reaches litigation, the case typically turns on access and timing. Timestamp every stem, every loop, every iteration as you create it. Prove your work existed before any contested track.

SYNC

Sync licensing

When a track is licensed to film, TV, or advertising, the rights chain has to be airtight. Provlyn provides verifiable, court-admissible proof of authorship and version — protecting your sync revenue from claims and clawbacks.

GHOST PRODUCTION

Ghost production

Whether you produce for other artists or hire ghost producers yourself, Provlyn protects both sides of the agreement. Permanent, dated proof of who created what — settling credit and royalty disputes before they happen.

BEAT LICENSING

Beat sales and licensing

Every beat sold or licensed should have a permanent record of authorship. When a buyer disputes a license or claims original ownership, you have a Bitcoin-anchored timestamp showing the beat existed in your possession before the sale.

AI AUTHORSHIP

AI-generated content claims

In an industry increasingly flooded with AI-generated tracks, proving human authorship matters more than ever. Provlyn timestamps your creative process — sessions, stems, iterations — establishing a verifiable human creation timeline.

PUBLISHING

Label and publishing disputes

Establish authorship before signing anything. When a publishing dispute arises — over splits, derivative works, or recapture rights — Provlyn provides cryptographic evidence of what you created and when, independent of any record kept by the label or publisher.

How the proof is built

01
Hash on your device
A SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprint is computed in your browser. Your file never leaves your control unencrypted.
02
RFC 3161 timestamp
The hash is countersigned by a trusted timestamping authority — a legally recognised method under eIDAS and equivalent frameworks.
03
Bitcoin anchor
The timestamped hash is anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps — independent, permanent proof that cannot be altered.
04
Self-verifying certificate
Download a PDF certificate with the .tsr embedded inside. Anyone can verify it offline with OpenSSL — no Provlyn server required.

Two ways to use Provlyn

Music files are big. You decide whether Provlyn just hashes them, or stores them too.

BASE

Protect only

Provlyn computes the cryptographic fingerprint in your browser and stores only that. Your file never leaves your device. Best for huge session bundles or material you'd rather not upload.

  • ✓ No file size limit
  • ✓ No storage charges — uses 0 GB
  • ✓ Verify ownership later by re-hashing your file
  • ✓ Best for confident professionals with their own backup
RECOMMENDED

Protect & save

Provlyn keeps a copy in your vault as well. Useful for full session bundles, collaboration, and a single source of truth. Each plan includes a storage allowance — overage is tiered.

  • Music Pro: 2 GB included
  • Music Studio: 10 GB included
  • Above included: $4.99–$19.99/month tiered
  • Hard cap at 50 GB — above is Provlyn Bespoke
Storage tiers (when you exceed your plan allowance)
Up to base allowance

$4.99/mo
5 GB to 20 GB
$9.99/mo

Provlyn Bespoke

At each annual renewal, your storage tier is recalculated based on the previous month's usage. If you drop back below the base allowance, the overage is removed automatically.
