Everyone loves to do the google search for various images that one might need. Actually, whenever you want to see how a particular thing looks like, the first thing that you would do is google for its image. This has become so common these days.
When I was in school, I used to get lots of projects and assignment and each of those projects requires lots of images (as it beautifies the entire project). Better images mean the better project which eventually will result in better marks. So, like any other kid in the world, I would sit at my computer and google all the images which I could find related to that topic. I bet you can name any other source for getting images other than Google.
It was only a few years later, I found out that most of these images are licensed. It means you can just copy and use it anywhere you like. You are liable to face serious punishment if caught. Seriously!! For just copying an image. Actually, there are more than 1 trillion licensed images on the internet today. WOW!! It made me wonder, how they manage all these images. How do they determine who would receive licensing fees (in case someone uses the image)?
Well, that's the problem. Copyright cases are very expensive and can take years to resolve. Would you waste that much time on image? Probably not. This is when ImageProtect can save your day. Let's find out more about the company and how it operates.
**ImageProtect platform**
[ImageProtect ](http://imageprotect.io/)is a platform which focuses on photo licensing and copyright protection. The platform uses blockchain and AI to build a decentralized copyright registry platform which authenticates users. The aim of the entire process is to ease up the management of digital content.
The platform comprises of various services like global image monitoring, copyright registration and real-time analytics and advertising based on IP share Technology. According to the ImageProtect, these services can make images impossible to copy. The company will also generate revenue from ads through an embeddable image format. You can think of it as in-image advertising.
[ImageProtect ](http://imageprotect.io/)uses its unique technology to replace infringer's image with a better version. After the image is successfully embedded, an online image format tracks traffic, creates in-image advertising, social engagement.
The platform also has its own cryptocurrency which will be used for various activities within the platform. ImageProtect will charge a fee of 10% of both image infringement and recurring ad revenue.
**ICO and Team**
[ImageProtect ](http://imageprotect.io/)uses ERC20 token which is created on Ethereum blockchain. The company has released 203,250,000 IMAGE token for sale. ImageProtect will organize pre-Sale from 1st June 2018- 31st August 2018 (in three stages each of one month long) and main public sale from 1st August 2018- 31st October 2018. The tokens will be sold at a rate of 1 IMAGE token = $0.10 USD. The company will accept Ether, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Litecoin as the mode of payment for IMAGE tokens.
**Conclusion**
[ImageProtect ](http://imageprotect.io/)will launch its IPShare technology in June 2018. The company also plans to launch blockchain registry service in September 2018 with the IP Market and legal forum scheduled to be launched in March 2019.
I really liked the idea of [ImageProtect](http://imageprotect.io/). They want to end an unauthorized image use in the digital marketplaces. This will provide creators more control over their images and will unify the digital content registry. And with an experienced team behind this project, I believe that they can really achieve their goal. But, the bigger question that they need to answer is for how long before someone gets around their technology. We all know that there have been many efforts in this field but they have not managed to impress that much as people have found a way to get around those technologies.
Do let me know about your views on the need for image protection in digital media? Do you think that [ImageProtect ](http://imageprotect.io/)would be able to solve the long faced issues by content creators? Can you think any other solution to give more power to content creators?
