Publishers are increasingly receiving expensive demand letters from photo copyright attorneys, image licensing companies, and enforcement organizations such as PicRights, Getty Images, and others.
​
Often, these claims involve older stories where photos were uploaded years ago, licensing records are missing, or staff unknowingly used images that were not properly licensed.
​
Lions Light’s Photo Copyright Review Service helps identify images on your website that may pose copyright violation risks.
​
Using the TinEye image tracking database, we review photos used in your online stories and provide a report showing images that may warrant further review, removal, or licensing verification.
​
Finding and removing questionable images before a violation is detected can save your publication significant money, time, and stress.
​
Pricing:
• $300 base fee, plus $0.06 per photo, with a $500 minimum.
• Photo List Preparation: If you need help gathering or preparing a complete list of photos from your website, we can assist at $75 per hour.

Recommended Next Steps:
We recommend having Lions Light run a photo copyright review report for your website, especially if you have years of archived stories or multiple staff members uploading images.
​
We also recommend implementing strict internal photo policies going forward and keeping records for any stock photos, licensed images, or third-party permissions.
