Individual photo agencies and photographers have made photo copyright protection a business. They upload high-definition photos without watermarks to picture websites, and users can find these pictures through search engines and download them for free. Once someone is “on the hook”, copyright users come to the door and use “copyright phishing” to obtain a profit that is several times greater than the sale of the image library.
For example, Richard Liebowitz, who turned from a photographer to a lawyer, was once notorious for his copyright protection.
Liebowitz sued almost a large number of media including CBS, Vice, Yahoo, etc. for image infringement, demanding that the media pay compensation for infringement of the copyright of the photo. According to statistics, the single infringement fee charged by Richard Liebowitz’s law firm may be as high as US$30,000, even though the fee for the use of these images may only be worth tens of US dollars. Liebowitz’s final compensation after reconciling with the other party may be less than the amount claimed, but it is usually much higher than the usage fee. The legal protection of copyright has given this kind of touch-ceramic business a broad living space.
Under the attack of trap image websites and copyright phishing lawyers, many content creators can be said to be frightened when compiling images-facing images captured by image search engines, images with watermarks and copyright notices dare not use them easily. Free high-definition images without watermarks are a well-designed trap. In such a creative environment, there is a lot of knowledge in the seemingly simple matter of matching pictures.
How can foreign creators realize the freedom of matching pictures
Image copyright extortion is helpless, but in some countries, there are many effective ways to allow creators to fly freely in the world of pictures, and to add pictures safely and freely.
A safe source for free images
If content creators want to use pictures for free without paying, the most common choice is to use pictures in the public domain.
