We're building a startup centred around assets users would sell on the platform. We need to provision our users by giving them a way to protect their copyrights on images/videos they're uploading. Of course, it is not possible to remove any chance of misuse, but we would like at least to minimise it, using the following identified options:
Add non-distraint watermark to images. Only when users buy an image/video they would get the original/"clear" version
Using Google Reverse Images API to check the web for images and eventually show the user where the similar images are uploaded (can also be used for videos by taking a screenshot)
Add copyright information to each image metadata.
Is there something else that we can do?
The second part is getting some insights in assets reusage
Is there some API on Facebook and other social networks to check how many times certain image is uploaded / re-shared / liked / commented etc ?
Any information on the topic is welcome.
Thanks in advance
