How to protect copyright photos from theft?
We have a lot of photos on our website.
But there are bad people who copy, erase watermarks and place them as their own ..
How to effectively deal with such people?
What are the watermarks that are hard to remove without ruining the photo?
PS. There are a lot of photos, about 50,000, batch application is desirable.

Most likely there is no bullet proof solution. It would be optimal to place photo stocks on well-known sites, so that they, in turn, monitor the observance of rights and limit theft. This is their bread, in theory they should be interested in ensuring that no one uses their products illegally.
Hidden digital labels. Somehow I came across an article on a hacker how they are made. In short, there is a group of pixels that becomes visible with certain photo manipulations. For example, when applying a certain filter. Naturally, if the photos are run through a compressor or something like that, then the probability of losing these marks is quite high.
Or just upload photos in low quality for review. This is the most obvious and simple of all possible solutions. And copyright is inalienable, regardless of whether there is a watermark or not https://www.artlebedev.ru/kovodstvo/sections/14/
there are none, and if they exist somewhere, then with the development of neural networks they will definitely not be left soon. The best watermark is the lowest resolution. It simply would not make sense for pirates to steal them, because commercial use would be difficult.
The most effective way is to judge, judge and judge again. Learn from Lebedev. His studio regularly sues someone for stealing and wins regularly. You will also earn money.

Encrypt the files, don't give them to anyone.
Print it out and give it out only in paper form... No, damn it, they can scan it.
Just show them from your hands in paper form , do not give them to anyone - this is a 100% option.
All over photo.
Only then will it be uncomfortable to watch them.

Judge. Use a blocking mechanism. Use large areas with your brand on the image.

Well, if they wipe watermarks, then whatever you do will also be bypassed in the same way. At least turn off the right mouse button on the site, at least write the name of your company diagonally across the picture - whoever needs it will steal it.
