Title: 2.5 billion images stolen per day
Post by: LesPalenik on March 29, 2019, 08:51:05 pm

Image rights enforcement company Copytrack reports that 2.5 billion online images were stolen per day in 2018. I don't know how reliable are their numbers, but there is a good chance, that some of those stolen images were lifted right from this site.

The study found that the majority of copyright infringement cases originated from North America at 33.90%, with Europe coming in second at 31.40% and Asia in third with 29.38%.

Of the infringing use, Copytrack found Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution images were the most commonly used. Most unauthorized use involved images with 3:2, 2:3, and 1:1 format ratios, as well as 640 x 400 and 800 x 800 resolutions.
