Deposit Watermark Contract For Free

While it is legal to watermark your own creative content or proprietary documents, watermarking someone else's copyrighted material without consent can result in heavy penalties and legal repercussions.

Understandably, artists have resorted to ?watermarking? their images online to prevent others from stealing their work. While watermarking can be a great deterrent, it's not the same thing as a copyright, nor is it a substitute for officially obtaining copyright protection from the US Copyright Office.

What does watermark mean? Watermarking is the process of superimposing a logo or piece of text atop a document or image file, and it's an important process when it comes to both the copyright protection and marketing of digital works.

Watermarks are typically transparent, so those viewing the image can still admire it. You can usually identify the photographer through the watermark, too. Watermarking images can also protect the copyright - ensuring others don't use the image without the owner's permission.

In confidential documents, a watermark adds to their status or importance. It also implies an extra layer of protection. For example, a paper with a ?draft? watermark would prevent people from interpreting it as the final copy.

Are watermarks legally binding? A watermark serves the purpose of informing a potential infringer that you own the copyright to your work and intend to enforce it, which may discourage infringement. It also prevents the infringer from being able to claim that they did not know the work was copyrighted.

Linear watermarks are made by laying string or wire directly on a papermaking mould, while detailed light and shade watermarks traditionally use low-relief wax to alter the variation in the paper pulp thickness.
