Photos Protection

Is there a photo copyright?

At a time when the use of the Internet has become primordial, copyright infringement has become commonplace. The Internet is not a bank of images in which one is allowed to use with impunity. There are laws that guarantee photo copyright. Copyright is governed by two laws: one dated March the 11th, 1957 and the other July the 3rd, 1986. Both are registered in the code of intellectual property. An author is the physical person who creates a work of the mind, in this case a photograph. Copyrighted photos are marked with the © symbol, with the year of publication and the name of the photographer. These elements are essential in order to correctly deposit your potos.

How to protect your photos?

The fulfilment of photo copyright is possible and the procedure is very simple. All you have to do is upload your photos, i.e. register your work with an authorized organization. For this, nothing more simple: there is a structure called QIBLE, which allows photographers to submit their works in a few clicks online. An electronic signature is enough, a bailiff's deposit is proof of the date of filing. To protect your photos on the internet, other tips are also used by photographers such as the prohibition to save the image or the degradation of the resolution of the photo so that it is not used. But it is better to use the services of a specialized agency to submit photos, especially since the procedure online is simplified. In addition, the creation of the object design confers on its creator copyrights by the very fact of creation. Submit a template is therefore essential because the copyright design will protect the creation of the author.

What are the remedies for fraud?

If a photographer has found a fraud after filing an image, the lawsuit is easy under the existing laws. If the photo has not been copyrighted, it is the photographer's word against the fraudster's. He must therefore hold tangible evidence such as negatives, proof if the photo was taken with a film camera, or the source file if the photos are digital. In addition, the procedure may be longer. To avoid this kind of problem and rush into an endless legal battle, it is better to protect your photos.
