Category "Copyright"

In this day and age, it’s not particularly challenging or complicated to create synthetic content that looks realistic. We have lots of consumer-friendly AI tools to thank for that. But as a result, it’s getting increasingly difficult to determine whether we can or cannot trust what we see online. And that’s the problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible.

Copyright is an extremely important issue for any photographer who publishes their works online. Copyright law applies to all content creators. Even if you don’t get paid for your work, you own the rights to all the images you have taken.

Copyright registration is optional. Once you’ve made a shoot, you own the photograph. The copyright is instantly yours for a minimum of 25 years. Someone can use your photographs as long as they credit you. If in fact someone were to abuse your photograph or artwork, you should prove somehow that it is yours. The legal copyright registration provides you an additional in-depth protection on all levels.

As we already told you before, social media present one of the greatest tool of promotion. But sometimes the networks can be dangerous for your works. That’s why you have to be aware that your content is defenseless in the web unless you provide it with thorough copyright protection.

If you often post content on websites and social networks and share pictures with followers, and your content has never been stolen, you probably live in a fairytale. The real life is much more cruel. If your content is more or less valuable, useful or actual, be sure it will likely appear on other users’ websites.
