In August 2021 CEPIC created a working group on Best Practices in Copyright Enforcement.
The group, made up equally of agencies and service companies, has completed its work and produced a list of recommendations: The CEPIC Best Practices in Copyright Tracking.
|
Crawlers chasing copyright infringement are active in the market doing a tremendous job in tracking pirated visual online content. However, the same issues come up time and again: what happens when rights are not exclusive? What happens when clients receive claims from a photographer for a picture they purchased via an agency representing this photographer? Is it OK to claim for images published without a license 10-15 years ago? – How retrospective can a claim be? |
This document is intended for agencies and rights holders to help them assert their rights . It has been focused on the most frequent cases, social media issues should be the subject of another working group.
