Introduction
A copyright infringement claim isn’t just about one image: it’s a warning sign that there may be more risks on your site. That’s why, once you resolve a claim, it’s wise to do a full “legal cleanup” of your website.
- Audit your entire image library
Make an inventory of all the photos, illustrations, or graphics you use. Check whether each one has a valid license.
- Replace questionable content
If you can’t prove the source or licensing of an image, replace it with a copyright-free alternative. Better safe than facing another claim.
- Establish an internal protocol
- Keep a file with licenses and invoices for each image.
- Only use trusted sources (licensed stock photos, AI-generated images with clear rights).
- Review your published content regularly.
- Train your team
If you work with writers, designers, or community managers, make sure they understand copyright rules. A single oversight can cost you a lot.
- Consider preventive protection
There are tools and services that automatically verify the legality of your content. A small investment now can save you from costly claims later.
