Hi,

I think there are a couple of problems concerning with APIC and copyright infringements issues in general:

1. Technical tracing issues
Lets say APIC finds a violating image on a freehost. How do they know that the person there does have a license or not?
You cannot tell that by just visiting the site. You would have to contact the freehost owner, email the owner of the freehost account and then request some sort of proof.
Watermarked images won't help, unless they are watermarked exclusively for each URL there are on...
Of course if you are dealing with exclusive pics than the process becomes easier.

2. Legal tracing issues
Lets say a photographer sells his content to a couple of content brokers which sell the content to end users or other brokers.
Does everbody know in this chain what was sold to whom?
Which person to contact in order of copyright infringements?

From my personal experience, I can tell you that I contacted a couple of content providers as I wanted to establish a service specialising in image copyright protection.
The service would crawl the adult web and do image matching with copyrighted images submitted by members.

No one was interested.
Probably the loss through copyright infringements is already included in the price. Or the hassle to find out a sites owner and trace it is too time consuming.

Technically, it's 8 words. But yes, fuck APIC indeed.

Those fuckers really piss me off!

I have received an APIC violation for content I HAVE purchased. The host missed it to forward me that message. I got it delayed after 4-5 days APIC complained.

So I have proven my license to those pictures to my host and what can I see right now?

Those bastards have cut off my connection through Cogent networks. All of my other domains work, only the affected domain was cut off.

I am really angry right now
