Introduction:
The need for such a software did not just emerged overnight. It took months, almost years for the developers to understand how easily a user can be blackmailed within minutes. For example, your photos. A contagious part of our memories that we all have out of which, few we like to share on social media while some we do not (which is basically called as maintaining privacy). However, while your photos are stored in your desktop, someone can walk into your system, take away those confidential photos and in the end blackmail you for one or more reasons. Hence, copy protection over here emerges to be important.
Understand how you can Copy Protect Pictures
Image theft is the unauthorized or illegal use of any image, photograph, graphic, cartoon, drawing, illustration or artwork. According to International Copyright Law, an image or the artwork belongs to the artist only who has created it; and permission is required to reprint or use that image. Unfortunately, there has been a great increase in image theft over the last few years mainly because many people don’t bother about copyright laws at all.
There is nothing more annoying than seeing your stolen images spread all the way through the internet or through CDs or DVDs, or by any other mean. No one wants their images get stolen and used by potential competitors, and therefore people use different methods to protect their images from being stolen or lost.
Since it can be very hard to track down the images illegally distributed over the internet or through CDs and DVDs, the best approach to prevent image theft is to protect your images in such a way that they can be used yet protected from theft.
Copy Protect is a unique data copy protection software that lets you prevent image theft by letting you copy protect your images, photographs and digital artwork. It uses advanced multilayer copy protection technology that converts your images and other media files into copy protected executable applications which can be burned on CDs/DVDs. Once burned, you can freely hand over your CDs or DVDs without the fear of image theft.
