This certificate provides a permanent, dated and verifiable record that the identified song, its recorded contents and associated publishing information were submitted to and published through MusiBee4 by the named creator or publisher account.
The song’s digital fingerprints, publication details and version history may be presented as supporting evidence that the identified material existed in the recorded form and was attributed to the named account holder on the date and time shown.
What is a SHA-256 fingerprint?
SHA-256 creates a unique digital fingerprint from a song file, lyrics, artwork or other document.
Even a tiny change to the file creates a completely different fingerprint. This allows MusiBee4 to show whether the recorded material is still exactly the same as it was when the certificate was issued.
The fingerprint does not reveal or reproduce the song. It is simply a secure way of identifying the exact recorded version.
The certificate does not independently decide authorship, ownership or competing rights claims. Its evidential significance may be considered alongside other available records and may vary between jurisdictions.
