Global copyright protection market leader Copytrack comments on Kodak’s upcoming ICO plans.
Copytrack’s blockchain-based Global Copyright Register just raised $ 7.6M USD in pre-sale ICO
Established in 2014, Copytrack is the global market leader in copyright protection for photographers. Headquartered in Berlin the company maintains a network of lawyers and legal operations in 140 countries. It turns a claim volume of over $2.5M USD each month for its clients.
Copytrack developed a unique image search and recognition technology. Its proprietary web crawler scans more than 1000 WPS (websites per second) and detects copyright infringement regardless of cropped, changed or flipped images. Copytrack’s data centers and technology is fully scalable and hosts an enormous image index database.
Copytrack launched the ICO for its Global Copyright Register on December 10, 2017, and raised $7.6M USD (5,624 Ethereum) from over 1.600 backers by January 9, 2018.
Copytrack’s main sale ICO ends on February 10, 2018.
Marcus Schmitt, CEO of Copytrack, states:
“It’s been a great recognition to be supported by over 1600 backers who have invested a total of $ 7.6M USD in our vision to democratize copyright and prevent image theft for photographers - and this was just the pre-sale.
We can only state 3 key differences and facts between KodakOne’s planned ICO and Copytrack’s Global Copyright Register so far:
-KodakOne is a brand licensing cooperation between Kodak and Wenn Digital Inc., a Delaware company founded in Nov.2017. Copytrack has a proven track record of several years and has developed its technology fully in-house with enforcement services in 140 countries.
-KodakOne plans to solely register images on the blockchain while Copytrack’s “Global Copyright Register” is an open blockchain for any type of digital content (images, music, video, etc.).
-KodakOne’s ICO will be a closed sale that’s only accessible to accredited investors, whereas Copytrack keeps its ICO open to all investors of the blockchain and cryptocurrency community.
We can’t comment on KodakOne’s technology as neither their system nor their whitepaper are available yet.
At Copytrack we strongly believe that blockchain and cryptocurrencies set the foundation of the internet’s future. It’s exciting to be part of it and help creators protect, track and monetize their work with the Global Copyright Register. Our main sale ICO still runs until February 10.”

Helping photographers protect their creative endeavors. Hey Kodak that sounds like a great idea! I personally find it amusing that Kodak announced this one month after Copytrack first launched their ICO.
