Methods to prevent products online from being ripped
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2015 1:50 am
Hi,
What is the best way to prevent a third party from ripping of images from a website. I understand that water marking is a key concept but how will the watermark actually prevent them from ripping the image and being able to manipulate the design to a point where their version would be enough to be copyrighted based on their modifications.
Ideally the aim is to prevent the third party from ripping the design in the first place but how would you counter someone who would infringe a design.
Also I noticed a lot of sellers on Marketplaces such as eBay and Etsy who sell designs which are obviously trademarked. So say for example sake, I seen a Homer Simpson design, it may or may not been designed by the original makers but could have been designed by someone who was was inspired by it. How would this work out?
I also noticed some Chinese wholesale sites that have copyrighted designs. If I saw a design on their webpages which I had designed, would I be able to notify them about the infringement? Hows successful would you be in achieving the take downs instead of taking things to a more serious matter i.e solicitors, legal proceedings.
Thanks,
