Blockai For Instagram: Instant Copyright Protection - A Digital Photographers Godsend

Hi all. This is for all those that want to find a way to protect your photos and images you upload and share to social media. If you're a business in particular, you'll want to protect your photos however you can and Blockai is a site that uses the block chain technology to permanently store a Digital Certificate to the block chain that can show that you was the original owner or creator of them.

Blockai for Instagram: Instant Copyright

I just got this as an email from Blockai. They have just released Blockai for Instagram. So now you can claim instant copy rights for your photos and things you upload to your Instagram profile. All you need to do is connect your IG account to Blockai by logging into the Blockai site and connecting your IG account to it. Then all your photos you upload to Instagram will be added to the block chain. I think. Or you have to use the #blockai hashtag for it to have an effect but you can import all your current uploads and write all of them to the block chain as well.

What is the point of this?

What this basically does it create a Digital Certificate which writes a permanent record on the blockchain. Then you get a digital certificate with proof so you can show that you was the original owner or creator of those photos.

This is especially useful for anyone that wants to break into the digital photography world in any way to offer another level of protection on their images, photos etc that they take and upload to Instagram. Or any social media site for that matter.

If anyone uses those photos for commercial reasons without your permission, you can prove that you was the original owner of them by adding them to the block chain with Blockai.

That's something I'll be doing with all of my drone photography. It's completely free to do (forever) and that works out cheaper than copyrighting your photography!

There is also already a Blockai for Twitter. So I would expect as the company grows they would release a Blockai for Pinterest or Blockai for whatever too eventually.

I think Blockai is really cool and is a Godsend of a free alternative for artists and designers, photographers etc who can't afford to register and protect their copyrights.

I'll definitely be making use of this whenever I get my drone aerial photography business off the ground! Blockai For Instagram: Instant Copyright Protection - A Digital Photographers Godsend

Oh nice one Mike. I wasn't aware that there is a Blockai for Twitter so I will certainly go and check that out soon. As you know I joined Instagram just a month or two ago, so I can make use of it on Instagram too.

I am very happy to learn about Blockai and since I am hoping to soon try my hand at photography and selling stock photos online I know I will be making a lot of use of Blockai in the future.

Can Blockai only be used for images? Or could I maybe also use if for my eBooks?

On so let's say I'm using Blockai which is actually a great tool in my opinion. Once I've found someone that copied my photos what am I going to do? I know I have the certificate to prove I'm the owner of that picture, but where and whom do I notify regarding this issue?

Should I just content the thief and show him my certifications and ask him to remove the pictures? What is he doesn't respond? Which type of authority should I contact next?

Maybe Blockai has a noble intention of being a registry for digital photographs. However the question is the method of protection for the copyright owner. When someone would copy the image in my website, how could I sue the copycat? Is there a way to punish that person? And what about if he is living in a far away country, I don’t think it is practical to chase him for copying my photo.
