Copyright law almost the world over states that you own your own creation from the moment of documenting or recording it. However until now there has been no easy way to prove when that moment occurred. With Digiprove, you can create this evidence easily and cost-effectively.
Unlike other services, Digiprove is totally confidential; file upload is not required.
You can begin immediately - the whole process is done online with a few clicks of your mouse. If you have access to the internet and an e-mail account, you can use this service. Once you have created valuable content, you want to be free to promote it without having to trust every person who might have access to it as an email attachment, on a web-site or any digital medium.
By Digiproving, you are creating a trail of evidence that protects your creation. You can then freely promote and communicate your ideas with colleagues, customers and third parties without fear.
How does Digiproving work?
What it does: When you Digiprove a photograph, you create irrefutable evidence that it exists in exactly that form at that point in time, and that you are in possession of it. This is critically important for creators of all kinds, from photographers to songwriters, from inventors to web-site designers. This can even be a zip file with lots of images, for instance a photographer could Digiprove hundreds of images in one step.
A Digiprove certificate is written in plain English, but you will also receive a digitally-signed file containing the certificate as an attachment to the email. The digital signature is important because it proves that the certificate has come from us and is included in our secure, provable audit trail. We also keep a copy of the digitally-signed certificate in case you lose it. More about Digiprove certificates.
Will it help me? It did for a professional Photographer in Ireland last year
25th September 2008:- Photographer proves ownership with Digiprove
When a friend told Trevor Hart "I saw your photograph on a billboard in Sweden", he was surprised. Trevor is a successful creative photographer based in Ireland, with blue-chip clients all over the world. But none in Sweden, so how did his concept for an image end up there?
The image in question featured an idea Trevor had come up with for his website showing a bottle of soy sauce with stormy waves inside. This was created in September 2007 and to prove his ownership he registered the image with Digiprove (www.digiprove.com), and then featured it on his professional website (www.trevorhart.com). He can therefore prove beyond doubt that he had this idea before the Swedish advertising agency came up with the same concept earlier this year.
