Track your image file even it has been modified in Web

With the rise of image thievery, it has bee more challenging and complicated task to get rid of image thievery. Even if it is copied, you might never notice it. No matter how hard you try to secure your image contents, even there are lots of software that can easily remove your watermarks.

In the crowd of content thievery, there are also certain helpful tools in internet that can make your content safe or at least track your contents. Whenever somebody copies your images, needless to mention that they rename the filename and even replace your watermarks with yours. But haven't you desired to track the location of all of your image contents?



This can be a single but major step to make your image contents safe. Like CopyScape, we have TinyEye's Reverse Image search which can track all the images that are published in any website of this world. TinyEye's search bots can still track your images even it has been renamed and modified a bit. Find out where an image came from, how it's being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or you can even find higher resolution versions.


How do they do that?

Tiny Eye's Image search use image identification technology rather than keywords, meta data or watermarks. When you submit an image to be searched, Tin-eye creates a unique and compact digital signature or say 'fingerprint' for it, then it compares this fingerprint to every other image in our index to retrieve matches. Tin Eye does not typically find similar images; it finds exact matches including those that have been cropped, edited or re sized.

Example :-Facebook banned .co.cc domains

Because of excessive use of abusive contents in free domains like .co.cc, Facebook has banned these domains. Upon posting a comment with .co.cc, Facebook reports error message. Not only in comments, .co.cc is banned in all of the service provided by Facebook.

For example, one of the plugin by Facebook, Like button does not work, it shows error.



Going further, Facebook reports that the blog as abusive to Facebook users.



If you are creating your website in .co.cc, you won't be able to use any of the Facebook services.

So, why Facebook banned .co.cc?

Actually, .co.cc is a free subdomain provided by http://www.co.cc. Since it is free, anyone can create an account for them and register up to four free .co.cc domains. Among all the subdomains of .co.cc, most of them are found to contain abusive contents. Probably some people might have requested Facebook to ban domain name ending with .co.cc.

Mostly, co.cc domains are used by proxy servers. Co.cc's are perfect for proxies, because they can be created easily and cheaply and then thrown away. And also adult contents are widely being used in .co.cc domains. While there are no one to moderate and monitor .co.cc domains.
