Over a billion images are uploaded monthly to just three websites. 10% are estimated to be duplicates of uploads by others. The scale and growth of unauthorized or uncredited images, which is a core element in the "orphan works" dilemma, is significant. Stock photo agencies, newspapers and publishers with large quantities of images are especially exposed. This video describes a solution that instantly links images at every website in every country, regardless of language, to the contact information and ecommerce link for that image of the stock photo agency that represents it. Using bulk uploads of URLs (not the images themselves), all photo agencies worldwide can gain a layer of risk mitigation together with a tool that generates sales leads. C-Registry.us, operating under its trademark The Copyright Registry, has created this video in which Randy Taylor, CEO of StockPhotoFinder.com, provides a "how to" guide to registering bulk image URLs in its database. (Note, C-Registry is not the U.S. Copyright Office).
