SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., July 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE -- Image Protect Inc. (OTC: IMTL) (imageprotect.com) (“Image Protect”, “IMTL”, or the “Company”), a global leader in the end-to-end copyright infringement sector, is excited to announce that development is currently underway to officially launch Fotofy.com, a revolutionary digital image sharing marketplace set to act as a massive online library of high-quality freely accessible images for use and sharing.
The Company is launching Fotofy to allow digital image rightsholders to generate revenue through in-image advertising tailored to targeted niche campaigns, while image sharing remains free for users.
“It has been a series of building blocks and small steps that has led us to this point,” commented Matthew Goldman, CEO of Image Protect. "As we get set to roll out the Fotofy marketplace, we believe we have created something truly unique that can realistically compete and win against anything available online right now in terms of its utility to both image rightsholders and end-users looking for high-quality images to use and share in their everyday activities – social media communication, website design, ambience and aesthetics, or anything else.”
The initial launch of the Fotofy.com marketplace will offer a powerful set of features:
- Fotofy offers an embeddable photo that is theft-deterrent and completely trackable across the Internet forever
- All images are licensed for free at no charge to the user
- Artists can earn revenue with a native ad model
- The marketplace has been built from the ground up to optimize celebrity and branded content
- Celebrities, brands, influencers, and photographers have tailored profile landing pages that any user can follow
- Analytics are available for any image or artist on Fotofy, including data tracked across the Internet
- All credit information is locked into each Fotofy image
- Any image can be shared from the Fotofy website or anywhere else a Fotofy image is found online
- All images can be linked back to their original source – even if the image has been shared a million times, a user will see its from “stevenlakephotography.com”, for example, and can click on that URL to be directed to his website
“The in-image ad market is already a $50 billion monster, with the wider digital ad space set to move above the $100 billion mark in 2019 for the first time ever,” continued Mr. Goldman. “At the same time, photographers and artists have never had such a problem with intellectual property rights. We believe Fotofy is a durable solution with an enormous upside because it presents a viable answer to both sides of the equation.
