Protecting your Work
Content piracy is a huge concern today as the ability to access larger files and to dig deeper into more personal areas has become available to the general public, not to mention any company’s competition. No company wants their competition to know their every move before they do it or to have access and the ability to use their ideas at their every whim.
We cannot one hundred percent stop thieves from taking what belongs to you on the internet, but watermarking photos can help to slow them down and in most cases, discourage them completely from choosing your picture to steal.
With the growth of content piracy, comes the need to protect, protect, protect. Everything you send out over the internet must be protected.
Caution has always been a good word of the day. In today’s internet world, another is watermarking.
They say, a photo says a thousand words. While it is great to have your photo appreciated or in some instances, drooled over or coveted, if your image got into the wrong hands, the thousand words may not be so flattering.
So you have decided to shed a few pounds and after all of your hard work, you look fantastic. You are proud of it and would not mind friends and family seeing your progress. Sending out a before and after photo of someone to a friend or adding it to a weight loss website seems harmless enough, right? Well, think again. Fun friends and family websites that appear safe at the beginning are loaded with the possibility of having something you put out on it of being stolen and misused.
How difficult would it be to have your photo downloaded to someone else’s computer and added to their special project or copy and pasted into the wrong media? It takes only seconds to send out a viral video. WHAM! You cannot just take it back. What is done is done and right in the middle of it is your personal life taken out of context and exposed for the world to see.
Those who receive the video of your life do not normally ask, nor care where the photos came from. It is up to you to protect your pictures. It starts with you. No one is going to do it for you. They are too busy protecting their own photos and project ideas. WinWatermark is a simple solution to a serious matter.
