Question 3

What is a C2PA certificate?

Accepted Answer

A C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) certificate is a cryptographic digital signature embedded into your image file that proves who created it, when it was created, and that it hasn't been altered. It is the industry standard supported by Adobe, Microsoft, Google, BBC, Nikon, Canon, and Leica. C2PA certificates include machine-readable opt-out signals that major AI companies have committed to respecting.

Question 5

How do I file a DMCA takedown for stolen art?

Accepted Answer

CVBER automates the entire DMCA process. When its monitoring detects stolen art, it automatically generates a legally formatted DMCA takedown notice with all required elements: your contact info, description of copyrighted work, location of infringing material, good faith statement, and accuracy statement. You can send it directly to platforms through the dashboard. CVBER supports DMCA notices for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, DeviantArt, Pinterest, and all major platforms.

Is CVBER better than Glaze or Nightshade?

Accepted Answer

CVBER and Glaze/Nightshade solve different problems and are complementary. Glaze adds pixel-level noise to disrupt AI style replication. Nightshade poisons AI training data. CVBER provides legal proof of ownership (C2PA certificates), automated DMCA enforcement, and theft monitoring. Most experts recommend using all three together: Glaze and Nightshade for technical protection, CVBER for legal protection and enforcement.

How does CVBER detect stolen art?

Accepted Answer

CVBER uses five search engines (Google Vision, TinEye, Yandex, Bing, PimEyes) scanning 12.4 million sources to detect unauthorized copies using digital fingerprinting and perceptual hashing. It finds modified versions including crops, resizes, and color changes across social media (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X), stock sites, and NFT marketplaces. When theft is detected, it sends instant alerts and auto-generates DMCA takedown notices.

Question 8

What file formats does CVBER support?

Accepted Answer

CVBER supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, GIF, BMP, and other common image formats. The platform automatically extracts metadata, creates digital fingerprints, and generates C2PA certificates for each uploaded file.
