NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 18, 2018 -- Libris (libris.photoshelter.com), a leading digital asset management platform empowering brands to effortlessly create visual stories, today released Libris License Alerts, a new product feature allowing organizations to track image licenses and usage rights. With Libris License Alerts, brands who use Libris to centralize and organize their creative assets will be able to avoid potential copyright lawsuits and prevent pricey infringement fines.

Every year, countless companies ranging from small businesses to major brands are penalized for using images without permission. According to U.S. Copyright Law, a copyright holder can claim statutory damages up to $150,000 per image for willful infringement made by a person or organization. A recent Libris survey also reveals that over 70% of marketers do not have a good system in place for tracking when image rights expire and 25% have recently faced infringement issues.
To solve this problem, Libris License Alerts are providing a simple way to track license expiration dates of individual images or groups of images, alerting teams when usage rights are coming to an end.
With Libris License Alerts, visual marketers can now:
- Add license expiration dates to individual images or entire shoots
- Get email notifications about images that are about to expire
- See usage rights at a glance with watermarks that display automatically when an image license has expired
- Stay ahead of expiring licenses and proactively renew agreements or remove images from current projects
- Ensure team members don’t use an image they don’t have the right to use
“If marketers and digital asset managers do not pay close attention to their images’ copyrights and usage rights information, they are running the real risk of lawsuits and damaging PR for their brand,” says Andrew Fingerman, CEO of PhotoShelter. “Libris License Alerts will help save teams time, money and a great deal of stress.”
Libris License Alerts are now included in all Professional and Enterprise level Libris accounts.
