RE: Photo Plagiarism - How To Avoid It - Original Photography
Does Tinyeye have an API? If so, maybe a service like cheetah or steemcleaners can plug into that. Its something i'd be interested in for sure - i hate having to check images are genuine before upvoting them.
They may well do, because the stock agencies use the professional version.. The problem is that I would get hundreds of false positives, because I am here on Steemit and my images have been available on the web for over 20 years! There is no way a bot would be able to determine if I am the photographer or not!
Yeah, i'm the same, not so much on stock photography sites, but on galleries such as 500px and my own site. It's a real tricky problem to solve.
I think it's up to the community to say we won't tolerate it, but I sometimes feel that my voice is so small, because many don't want to listen!!
Well im listening. Unfortunately, thats just 20 fingers between us to plug a dam that is leaking copied content all over Steemit :(
And of course all over the web too, because Steemit is not a private site! Maybe there are enough photographers now that we could start our own drive to clean up the act!
its certainly something id be interested in getting involved with. I think I saw about a month ago someone who wanted to clean up the photography tag but i can't remember who it was (it might have even been you...)
in fact it was here... https://steemit.com/steemit/@winstonwolfe/i-want-sp-delegation-because-someone-needs-to-clean-up-the-photography-tag
Err...... make that 30 fingers ;)
There are more of us fighting it now than when I first started, so that's a good thing!
