Jo,

I totally agree with what you say. As I said the platform will detect duplicate images and keep the fraudsters off the system. This helps both buyers and sellers. Buyers will be able to buy artwork from genuine sellers with no room for copyright infringement cases, no disputes. Not trying to jazz up or pitch. This tech can really change things for good.

Unless the Big Three adopt the platform and commit to chasing fraudsters all over the globe, I don't think there's going to be an impact. My bet is they won't. I don't think lawyers are going to be all over the cases with 28c damages.

The legal service will be for assistance. They would act upon photographers request and help them in the legalities. Most of these operations will be automated.

The big players probably won't get into blockchain. They get paid more than 75% of the sale revenues no matter if the image is stolen or legit. They only act when people file a complaint.

We have algorithms to detect the modified image. I wish I could share the test page to explain. stockblock .io /fingerprint remove the space and check. Please dont ban me for doing this.

Basically, No 2 different users will be able to upload same or modified image. The system will be able to detect image similarity and flag the user for plagiarism. We have put together a white paper explaining the project in detail.

Hello Saun,

That's not me. My name is Mangesh Yadav. As I said I am a hobbyist photographer and professionally I am into IT business.

What I am looking for:

I am looking for some support to build a platform for media artist. No, I don't need your money.

I need your support in building a platform for media artist where photographers can copyright their artwork just like a birth certificate for your artwork. It certainly does not replace the legal copyright registration but becomes a secondary proof of ownership and proof of publication.

Secondly, as its time-consuming searching for your stolen images. The platform helps the photographers track their images online. The system will be able to tracks images and create a report letting you know the URL the image thumbnail etc.

The platform will also have a marketplace to sell using your artwork. Benefits of this marketplace are low transaction cost, a higher percentage of sales revenues and instant deposit of funds into your account.

I know there are a lot of stock photography websites already but this is something different.

The entire platform will be backed using blockchain technology. I am not sure how many know about blockchain technology. But everything above mentioned is possible using blockchain technology.

The ability to secure copyright information on the blockchain is ideal. Once the information is registered, it cannot be altered. Therefore, a creator always receives credit without any possibility of dispute and provides you with a proof of publishing. Artists can track the activity of their work along with transparent sales and prevent copyright infringement.

We want to put the power back in the hands of the artists. We are still working on this project and is under development.

All I am looking for is support.

I am myself a hobbyist photographer and like wildlife photography. I am not here to sell my images or any such thing or any advertisement.

I am here looking for some info on copyright infringement. I saw a lot of complaints regarding the same and wanted to join the discussion.

I would like to know how big this problem actually is.
How much time does a photographer spend looking for their images online?
How does it affect the photographers?

Let me know,

Regards,
Mangesh
