Why Photo Licensing is Important to Keep

Like many of you, I was nabbed by CopyTrack for illegal use of a photo. This was a photo from 2018, so quite a while ago, and I haven't always been an angel on my photo use, so I was a bit nervous.
After some back-and-forth on verifying CopyTrack's actual representation rights on the photo, I was able to track down the license I did obtain from 123rf for the rights to use the photo. It contained the date downloaded, the amount paid, licensing rights, etc. I was able to provide that to them and clear up the case.
Of course, with WA's new Image Designer, I don't have to worry much about that anymore - I usually take my own photos, and if I need something additional, I can use Designer to rework my own photos to create something supplemental. Considering the typical payment for illegal use runs between $500-$2000 US, this alone is a great savings for me.
Just be aware that these companies are out there. They aren't scammers per se, but . . . almost. They will charge you an exorbitant amount to recover their own search and attack costs. You may want to consider access to Designer just to spare you the headache.
