After days of thought and work, you've finally took the perfect shot, finished creating that perfect image or video.  The next step is to set it free, getting it out there in front of the people who want to buy it from you!  
That brings you face to face with one of the biggest problems facing creators and suppliers of digital content for the web:  tracking the use of their content and ensuring royalty payment by all users! The web is so huge, and growing by leaps and bounds every minute of every day, that as soon as an image, a video, or graphic content  is uploaded, the owner's ability to track, control, and  even get paid for its usage is, to say the least, limited, if not nonexistent.

This problem isn't one that concerns only small content owners but is a general phenomenon that affects all professionals operating in the visual content market: from the single person operation, country based operation and global content agencies.. ; nobody wants to lose exposure to all the potential customers out there, yet all experience  the fear of copyright theft that makes them think twice before releasing  content onto the net. 

"Content Lockdown": what we can't track & control we prefer to keep to ourselves.
Most content owners and distributers lack the resources to spend valuable time combing the web to find pirated versions of their content.  Many are not aware of a tailor-made solution to their problem.   Perhaps they assume that because they lack the resources of global content agencies they must accept this content lockdown as a "fact of life", do nothing and lose a sizable amount of sleep and revenue.
Research conducted by Corrigon, an innovative Copyright Management Services company, indicates that a significant percentage of potential content sales are not carried through because of content lockdown – due to concerns by the creator about the potential use of their content, its future distribution and scale of unauthorized use online and offline by the potential customer. 

The fact that as much as 90% of content usage does not result in royalty payments to the content owner makes the creator suspicious and less favorable when it comes to releasing their content or samples to potential customers, not to mention post it on the web.  This can result in financial losses that can run into thousands, even millions of dollars.

Simple basic steps such as copyrighting actions and marking digital content don't prevent copyright infringement, but how do you track infringements?

Safely put your content on the Web
Monitoring the use of your content is no simple task. Manually searching the web for your content is an impossible task! Even with the use of image search engines such as Google and the like, finding all instances of you content's appearance is a daunting task and for every one illegal usage there may be dozens more that go undetected.

Web based and software based content tracking solutions do exist, but Corrigon provides unique solutions for real-time, automated tracking and notification solutions that leaves you, the content owner, free from worry.

Corrigon's Copyright Management Services use innovative technologies and algorithms that were developed specifically to track and trace digital and printed content.  Corrigon provides clients with a monthly web wide report showing the client's content usage which can then be compared with client list's to determine if royalties have been paid or not.

Even if you are a small content creator or provider, your livelihood depends on protecting your content.
Corrigon's Search & Monitoring solutions frees you from worry and lets you place your content on the web knowing that you still retain control over its usage and distribution.
