Protecting photos with Copyright.eu
Dated evidence for your creations
All inclusive – No subscription
Are you a photographer or is photography your passion?
Unfortunately, this is now a common practice, almost a reflex: to illustrate an idea, a presentation or a publication on social networks, what could be easier than to use a photo found on the Internet?
This can happen to your photographs tomorrow. Have you personally been a victim of this, or are you afraid of being one? Read this article.
It is all very well to write « Copyright: your name » or « All rights reserved » on each published photo, but that is not enough. With the Internet, and especially social networks, images are spread, shared, and unfortunately, notoriously copied.
Worst of all, someone else can appropriate your photos and even dispute your authorship. How to deal with such unpleasant surprises? Prepare proof that you are the author of your photo!
Copyright for photos. Protecting a photo has never been easier.
How to protect your creations as effectively as possible?
Photos are protected by copyright law by the mere fact of their creation, subject to their originality, which is defined as the imprint of the author’s personality.
But the other fundamental question is how to prove that the photo was taken on a specific date, and by whom! There are several ways to do this.
