How to Protect Your Blog Images against Content Theft

To all those who want to keep a copy of their images, their creations, their videos, their articles, etc... IT IS IMPOSSIBLE There is no means whereby to prevent copying.  Hacks and tricks all that you can find will never prevent copying images.  Note: I defy anyone to show me a site Web I cannot copy the images.  And many others (I'm sure) ME (us) TOO! So, hopefully that fixes things.

Explanations

For the visitor to your website or blog sees anything, it means that it is temporarily copied somewhere in the computer's memory. Otherwise he could not see them. It is useless to apply more possible protections that are more slow, cumbersome, annoying and unnecessary. Sole and exclusive protection you have is a protection Legal : Copyright. Any work (images, text, music or otherwise) is protected by immediately Copyright by the simple fact that you have created. It's as simple as that. And this right is granted until at least 70 years after the author's death. (It depends on the type of work after music, literature,).

Deter copiers

Here are some tips to deter potential copiers:

1) In case of dispute

You must be able to prove the paternity of your works.
There are paid services (usually expensive), but here's a simple solution:
Burn works on CD (or print them), then put everything in a sealed envelope that you send to yourself by registered mail.
Once received, do not open it! Date of postmark shall prevail in case of dispute and help you prove the authorship of works.

2) At the bottom of each page of your site...

Place a legal text that recalls the copyright and ownership of works, as well as the conditions of use of these images (and others). Way anyone transplanted one of your images can not say that n ' was not aware of the rights attached to these images.

3) There are technical means

To mark pictures:

• Make text transparent wholesale across the image: it's ugly, but it is difficult to remove and will envy you thieves stung.


• Watermarking (watermarking) allows you to enter a code hidden in images that can be read later.

But you must know that this system is primarily deterrent, because there is software capable of blowing these markings.
Several different systems of watermarking.  Most are paid (and expensive!).

What to do when there is a copy?

1) Contact the Webmaster

First, contact the webmaster of the site in question, and ask politely (but firmly) to remove the images.
(By specifying which cause problems on the website.)
Certain webmasters not even necessarily directly responsible do not ignite.
Remain calm and polite in your emails.
Give the webmaster and a small delay for the answer (yes, some webmasters sometimes go on vacation 2 or 3 weeks!).

2) Contact the host

If the webmaster does not respond (after a month, for example), or if you tampers, contact the web host.
Hosts The vast majority of webmasters remember to order, or if a 'comply, shut their site altogether.

3) Finally, bring the case to court

If the host does not respond, you have the solution to sue if you have the courage.
But remember that you must be certain to be able to prove the paternity of your work (the system envelopes recommended for example).
Sure to attack the person who placed the image (this is not necessarily the webmaster!). And do not attack the host: this is a technical intermediary.
