Automatically Find Copyright Infringements of Your Photography

published by Concert Photos ... on Fri, 05/13/2011 - 10:28am

If you haven't found your photography being infringed commerically, you probably haven't been looking.  PicScout is the premier service/technology to find your images online across the world.  Their clients include Cobris Images, Life Magazine and the big "G".  PicScout has had a policy of only accepting clients with over 30,000 images online and wanting $500 and up per month to index them and identify them.  There is a new company that is working with PicScout where they will index all of your images on a contingency basis so you have no out of pocket expenses.  You really have nothing to lose and only lost licensing revenue to recoup.  Email me for details: dave@performanceimpressions.com.

Hi Dan,

PicScout is now owned by Getty Images.

Are you getting anything for posting this message? We all want to collect on infringements, but your post sounds like an advertisement. I hope you are not getting a kickback for posting this message.

That sounds an awful lot like a carefully crafted advertisement to me.  It is something we would be interested in, but personally I would rather here from one of our peers how it has worked or not worked for them.
