How to Search For Copyright Infringment?


Recommended Posts

I would be interested to know the quickest or easiest way to do this, in order not to be dragging hi res images into google images which can take a while I tend to save as a low res and then drag it in but this is creating extra work I could do without. Is there an easy way?

Yep! src img is what you need.

If you use Chrome:

  1. make bar with favorites visible on top of page (see Chrome settings)
  2. drag the src-img link among the visible favorites 

Now every time you go to another page with images, you simply click on the src-img favorite and all images show the src-img logo ready to be investigated  ;)

Doesn't show wonky in Chrome. Depends probably on the browser you use.

I am using chrome, what is happening is if I do the above procedure on the first page of images then all is fine, I have just realised that what is happening is when I go to the next page of images the same src-img logos remain in place and if I click on src-img logo on favourites bar I get the  correct logo's as well as the last page logos. I have to refesh the page each time and then it works

I'm using Chrome with their Image Search plug-in. Just right click on an image, choose "search Google for Image" and the results appear in a separate window. 

 

BUT, I don't actually search for infringements. More often I just search for images that have sold or images that show a number of zooms to see if I can find out where they've appeared. Sometimes they're obvious infringements but sometimes they're just unreported Sales. If the image is on what appears to be a legitimate site and isn't reported in a month or two, I'll contact Member Services.

 

Other times I'll try a simple Google Search on my name. I've come across a number of infringements where photos have either been lifted from a legitimate Alamy client or even hot linked from my PhotoShelter site.

As Stacy / fotoDogue above I use the Chrome plug-in with success and Google text searches - combined with the Firefox Tineye sometimes - it tends to find other uses.

 

Neither can I make src-img work with my Chrome. I remember setting a lot of restrictions in Chrome once - may be due to this.

Thank you for the advice. I can't seem to find a way to use

src image on the current version of internet explorer so I downloaded firefox and use the infringement finder add-on.

THANKS,

Jacob Y.

Personally, I was a much happier photographer before I discovered my first infringements. The methods are simple but the ways to stop it happening - and stop making you angry without counselling! - are harder.

 

That said, I've started to use Imagerights who remove the pain of direct negotiation and am waiting for the payment of my first large, settled infringements from them.
