14. “I am sure that sooner or later, there will be a charge for TinEye but to me
its worth it. After much negotiations between the Romanian publisher
and myself, I settled for $1700 (1000 euros). I was advised by a Romanian
law firm that under Romanian law, the most I could obtain was three
times the price I would have charged for the image in the first place (if I
had taken it to court). The publisher said that they would normally pay
between 75 and 200 euros per image which was far below my
expectations (and FotoQuote) I baulked at this and to add a little
leverage, I advised them that I would demand that all copies of the book
be withdrawn and destroyed at their expense. I then received the offer for
1,000 euros” – Sheila Smart

“TinEye does for images what Google does for
text. We are not limited by words, Google can
only find an image if a particular search word

large scale to tell somebody where one of their
images has appeared and how it’s being used.”
