ImageSpan and PicScout say they are partnering to deliver image licensing and tracking services that address “a huge and growing problem: online image theft.”
Lost revenues from unauthorized uses of images online are estimated at upwards of $65 million, according to a comprehensive study by the Stock Artists Alliance.
The partners provide subscribers with “a view into where and how their images are being used online.” PicScout searches for image copyright infringement. ImageSpan’s LicenseStream is a licensing and royalty payment automation platform with which photographers can better monetize content with, among other functions, automated remedies to convert copyright infringers into paying customers.
ImageSpan also announced partnerships with PMA®, the National Press Photographers Association, and the American Society of Media Photographers to offer discounts on key LicenseStream Creator services.
We have an interview with ImageSpan CEO Iain Scholnick on the Imaging Executive Podcast.
