I've a lot of infringed images. Any copyright infringement tracking agency you guys can recommend? I'm not wasting my time going over them myself.

There's Picscout but I don't really know how we can use them?

I saw this site recommended on a forum recently. https://www.imagerights.com/

I have no personal experience with them so I don't know how good they are.

Picscout is a rip off. They take 60%, $20 monthly fee, $10 per case. Which means you'll likely get less than 35%. Provided that you win. If not you lose $20 per month and $10 per case. The * company wins either way.

The only thing I can think of why they take $20 monthly and $10 per case when they already take 60% is that their winning chance is low.

So let's get this straight: you don't want to chase down infringements yourself because while you want to get paid for what you do it's not worth doing the leg work yourself, cause it's a waste of time. But you also don't want to pay anyone else more than a pittance to do it for you. hmmm.

I confess I find this site amusing. Half the threads are complaints about how little we get paid and how the world steals and under values our work and the other half of the threads are about how to get services for nothing. Paypal shouldn't take fees for providing their service, companies shouldn't get more than a few dollars to track down copyright infringement, what's the cheapest web host, where to get software you don't have to pay for. Endlessly fascinating.

Less than 35% cut plus a lot of chances for a total loss is pittance to you hmmm. I find your way of thinking inadequate. Please do exercise your brain cells more.

If you cannot contribute just get out. There's no room for attention seeker here.
