RE: Photography-101 – My Lessons Learned - 3
I just read this post and thot of you - you'll be happy to learn this if you haven't already. https://steemit.com/steemit/@donkeypong/using-google-image-search-after-the-recent-change
Thanks for thinking of me!! I didn't know it had happened yet, but we Getty contributors have been asking Getty to do something about Google for ages. It’s our work that was being stolen, and of course Getty was losing money too because of it. The news will be on my Contributor site, but I haven’t been up there in a few days. I think the damage has been done, but it would be great for my business if it could be reversed! Prople are already screaming that it’s inconvenient because they see it as their right to take copyright material.
It makes it easier to find plagiarized photos. I helped someone tonight and so much easier - it takes me right to the website. So that's good news .... baby steps.
That’s what we asked Getty to make Google do! It has taken a while, but Yay for them!
I just read my Contributor Email which has been sitting in my inbox since the 9th. Lol! There was no lawsuit. That post does not have it quite right. I’m going to write about it tomorrow based on the info I got from Getty.
I’ve had 2 images that I know of swiped and used here on Steemit, and by high earners too - not newbies with a 25 score! It has been very frustrating!
Of course, this is not going to stop people from linking to some website where an image is being used and claiming it as the source. But it is a step in the right direction to protect copyright holders.
Just did a search and found some of my own images linked to various agencies. Yay!
I don't get it. 😳
LOL! What don't you get? I'm a stock photgrapher, so my images should show up on the agency sites, because that's where they are waiting to be licensed. :-)
I guess it's the way I read what you said. Never mind. I'm prob tired. :) or old, or both.
