Picscout launches PicApp to provide free copyrighted Images to bloggers
PicScout, a technology company with offices in San Francisco and Herzelia Israel best known for helping stock licensing companies monitor distribution of their content, has launched a new service called PicApp for bloggers and other online publishers to use copyrighted images for free on their websites. Rather than pay for the content with traditional licensing fees each image is accompanied by an advertisement that generates royalties to the content contributor.
Initial searches results on the PicApp site appear to have returned approximately 20,000 unique images including content from such sources as Getty Images, Corbis and many others. The service includes commercial/advertising images as well as current editorial images including content related to the U.S. presidential race, Celebrities, and Sports imagery.
“Bloggers are the new journalists and they can now get great images – and use them legally, with no charge whatsoever,” said Eyal Gura, CEO, PicScout. “Through PicApp, we are providing today’s new media with access to the latest images and an easy way to enrich their readers’ experience.”
