WebWhale automatically protects your blog’s content in real time using the powerful technology of blockchain by CopyrightsWorld.

All you need to do is follow these simple steps:

1. Create your WebWhale account
2. Connect it with your Blog. Within 24 hours, we’ll send your certificate of ownership to your email.

Once you’ve finished with this process you can sit back and relax, because we take action. 

If you choose to activate our monitoring system, it starts to scan the worldwide web for exact duplicates but also plagiarism of your blog posts, and notifies you every time suspicious activity is detected.

We keep an eye on your valuable work!

Once an infringement is detected we provide you with the tools you need to send takedown notices with a click of a button.

Custom Post Types are referred to other endpoints. All the information of posts in a WordPress site is found on the endpoint posts of the API, and that is exactly what our system is looking for. 

Regarding the enforcement, most of the infringement cases are solved by simply sending a DMCA takedown notice along with the certificate of ownership we provide.

What distinguishes us from LOC is that we are a service offering an easy, fast, accurate and affordable copyright registration, for a vast amount of assets, helping you to avoid long and expensive bureaucratic procedures.

Our service enables you to copyright your work fast, and also track and locate cases of infringement with our monitoring system. If you want to collect statutory damages in court, you can then also register with the Library of Congress as well (that’s only a requirement for US citizens that get their creations infringed within the US).

The practical application of this, is a takedown notice, which is a formal request to anyone who is using your work without your permission to take it down immediately. Whether it is a search engine, a host of content or really anyone who publishes unauthorized work, they have to comply with the take down notice and remove the requested content. If the person doesn’t comply, you then have the option to take further legal action.

CopyrightsWorld provides both take down notices and court-ready reports. Please speak to our customer support team for further information on how to access them and the formal ways of using them.

If the new image is based on a location or generic subject matter that is photographed often, there will likely be no violation of copyright.

Alternatively, an artist might draw inspiration from your style but add their own personal interpretation, thus adding their own creative contribution to your work, be it technique, or lighting style, or even combining several image perspectives into one. This would also not constitute a violation of your infringement rights. 

“Fair use” is perhaps the most identifiable use of copyrighted material that isn’t an infringement violation. A creation is in “Fair use” if it serves the public good. “Fair use” applies when copyrighted materials are used in such fields as teaching, commentary, critique, or reporting. Unfortunately, this means that any satire your work inspires is also fair game, even if you do hold a copyright!

On the other hand, should an artist use a style (or subject matter) that is applicable only to you, if, even after being turned into a painting, the work is still readily identifiable as your creation, copyright infringement laws apply.

Regardless of whether you ultimately decide to pursue legal action or not, the first thing to do when you suspect copyright infringement is get a second opinion from an educated, but unbiased party, such as an attorney, or even an acquaintance. 

Copyright infringement occurs when someone, uses, copies, or distributes your work without your permission.

When you find out that someone is infringing on your work you can send them a takedown notice, claim damages or license your work to them. Whatever you decide to do, you will need to have proof of copyright ownership.

If you want to monitor your work for unauthorised use, you can use our copyright infringement monitoring service.
