Tineye image search engine
A few days ago it was published the news about the plagiarism in the design of the Benalmádena Carnival poster, of a mobile piece of Danish Christian Flensted. I thought how difficult it is to realize the plagiarism of a work so many kilometers away, even living in times where the communication and data exchange occurs at an incredible speed thanks to the Internet.
Precisely thanks to the Internet you can quickly find the origin of this type of plagiarism. In just one minute we can find where a particular image is being used and thus request the copyright when it is being infringed thanks to the image search engine Tineye tool.
Tineye is the best known and most recognized image search engine, its operation is really simple. We explain it in just two steps.
