AMAZING RESOURCE TO HUNT DOWN PICTURE PIRATES

Now this is an impressive resource for any photographer wanting to know if their photographs have been pirated or their copyrights are being abused.

Its called TinEye (www.Tineye.com) and all you do is drag and drop your image into their search engine and it will scan the known internet universe to show you where your photograph has been used – or abused (how it scans 4.38 billion images in .001 seconds is just beyond me). Incredible technology. It’s a free service and valuable to me as a professional photographer as I can see where my images are being used and follow up if the terms of my License Agreements are not being honoured.

…looks like I’ll have to give the Cook Islands a call.
