How to Avoid Art Theft

:reading: Please read this article that may help you protect your work against theft.

How to avoid art theft

:dalove: Special thanks to :iconspiritto: for giving permission to use and share with you guys.

A guide to methods to use when submitting art that would minimize (since you'll never be able to completely stop it) theft of artworks...

1: Limit the view size of your artwork. Don't make a huge preview available unless you want it to get stolen.

2: Place a "watermark" on all pieces submitted. If not within the artwork itself at least use the watermark feature dA provides on the submission page. And, if you place a watermark within the artwork, still use dA's just in case.

3: Limit "sharing". Select "discourage" on the share function selection.

4: Use a "Creative Commons" license.

5: Use the "watermark" feature on the "print" submission page on all artwork submitted as a print.

:dalove: Special thanks to :iconhallv5: for sharing this with you guys.

Copyright



:bulletred: When does copyright expire?

When a copyright expires, material can be lawfully copied. The current law is that copyright lasts the life of the author plus 70 years.

But a copyrighted is subject to the law that is in effect at the time it was created, and the laws have changed over the years.

Keep in mind
Any works published on or before December 31, 1922 are now in the public domain.

Works published between January 1, 1923 and December 31, 1978 are protected for 95 years from the date of publication.

:dalove: Exposure Counts!

Can't I scan an image and put it online?

If you are not the original creator or copyright owner of the image, you cannot legally redistribute that image. Scanning an image and placing it online is redistribution and it is a breach of copyright.

This includes images found in magazines, books, newspapers, greeting cards, calendars, catalogs, CD covers, brochures, etc.

Major companies such as Disney, Hallmark, Warner Brothers, etc., have very strict regulations about the redistribution of their property.

You cannot legally scan and redistribute photographs, cartoons, illustrations, drawings, etc., if they are protected by copyright.

You cannot legally create a "fan site" using copyrighted photographs without the expressed permission of the photographer or copyright owner.

You cannot "freeze" an image from a television program, movie, or film for redistribution. The television program, movie, or film is protected by copyright as a complete entity and as individual frames.

It is prudent to assume that everything that is published has a restricted copyright. Check the source of the image you want to scan for its copyright restrictions.

But I'm using a photo of my favorite singer as an avatar in the forums and/or on my webpage, that is okay ... isn't it?

Most likely, no.

However, if you took the photograph yourself, then the photograph belongs to you. If you purchased a license from the copyright holder to use the photograph, then you may use the photo without breaching copyright.

But, if you are using a photograph (you have scanned the image or taken the image from a site online) that was taken by another photographer, you are illegally violating the copyright of the photographer and/or management company of the performer.

Just because an individual is in the "public eye" as a performer (singer, actor, politician, etc.), you cannot legally use the images without the expressed consent of the copyright holder who is usually the original photographer and/or the performer's management company.

Francis Bacon's Posthumous Petition



"You shall read that we are commanded to forgive our enemies; but you never read that we are commanded to forgive our friends."--Sir Francis Bacon (1560-1626), writing to the Duke of Florence; also found in his Essay IV

:butterfly: Help pardon Sir Francis Bacon by signing the online petition. It's easy to sign by filling in an online form. Anonymity protected and there is no worry of being spammed.

Tineye Engine

:bulletyellow: TinEye is a reverse image search engine. You can submit an image to TinEye to find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions. TinEye is the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks.

We always protect the anonymity of the person who offers us the information. All we do is expose the irregularity and if the alleged theft is on DA servers, we report it to the DA Administration.

Should you wish to completely remain anonymous, then we suggest a note to the club is more in line.

I will go check on these links.
