A lot of people use content without paying because they cannot afford to pay for it. I am not saying piracy is good but often people need to use someone else's content for something very small. Take for example a small blog.

There are a lot of blogs today and every blog involves pictures. However, stock image companies make most of their money from other companies. I had a feeling most bloggers don't buy their blog images. I looked it up and turns out that it's true. This shouldn't be surprising because stock photos can be expensive and most bloggers don't have the money to pay for all those photos. The stock photo companies themselves know this and that's why they usually don't come out to sue blogs.

There is an actual piracy problem with the sale of images and no one is addressing the real problem here except for Wemark, an image marketplace that will charge photographers just a 15% fee. Wemark uses blockchain technology to make a secure marketplace for photos. Since blockchain technology replaces the m middleman, the fees to sell are so low, that images can be sold for a price that is affordable to others.

Buy Your Blog Images

Wemark is solving the piracy problem by finding a solution to the root of the problem. Even though photographers get paid so little, images are still very expensive. Many stock photo companies decide their own prices for sale value and pay photographers cents for each image download.

If the company considered to solve the problem by trying to find a way to hold back the photos or get stronger legal enforcement, the best case for them would be just that people would end up using less photos. This is not a solution because the photography market doesn’t grow this way. Wemark removes the middleman and lets blockchain technology be in control of the marketplace. With the huge middleman fees, as much as 85% of sale price, out of the way, Wemark is able to make sure mage prices are cut while photographers make more money.

With cheaper images available, more people will be able to afford to use stock images the right way.
