How to protect your copyright as an artist in Gabon
Published 15 August 2026A beat bought “on trust” on Telegram proves nothing. An Audio Evodie license creates a useful record when you release a song.
The license, not only the file
A WAV without a contract does not say if you may exploit the beat. On Audio Evodie, buying a license (non exclusive, exclusive, and so on) is recorded. Keep the certificate and invoice.
Deposit and collecting societies
For a full song, deposit lyrics and the recording under local Gabonese procedures. The marketplace does not replace a work deposit. It documents the instrumental purchase.
Exclusive sold
When a beat goes exclusive, it leaves the catalog. That helps avoid another artist releasing the same instrumental after you. Check the status on the page before buying.
