The Smint.io Blog

Dear friends of Smint.io!

It is that time of the year again.

The time to be with your loved ones and the time to look back on the year that is ending.

It has been a year full of challenges for all of us, but also one that has shown us that working together and caring for each other, is the only way to flourish and to overcome obstacles.

When we look back on our year as a team at Smint.io, we also like to reflect on those who have made us succeed.

Once an image is on the Internet, it may well take paths that are as complicated as they are strange. The Hamburg-based agency Die Bildbeschaffer followed the trails of an image that shows a polar bear and was made available via the database of the renowned Alfred Wegener Institute. Now it is being sold as a rights-managed image – without the consent of the photographer. A case study that tells a lot about the care applied when handling image rights.

Watch this recording of our webinar for Smint.io users (September 2020), offered in English. Please note, that there is a German version of the recording available as well.

Reinhard Holzner, our CEO, shows and explains the many new functions that we have introduced to Smint.io since the last user webinar.

We at Smint.io have developed a uniform standard licensing scheme for stock content. The standard license scheme contains all the essential terms that are necessary for the legally compliant use of stock content in companies or agencies. Different target groups and types of use are distinguished in the standard license scheme.

Read now why we call this a revolution in content buying.
