Some advice in order to protect your artworks
Some members have contacted us in order to get some tips to protect their Koinup works!
Well, this is an important issue..so let us tell the following:
1) If you have some artworks, machinima, photos that you don't want other share, use, post it, you have the chance to make it private or visible only to your contacts
2) If you, otherwise, encourage other to share, use, sell, etc your artworks, you can type the kind of licenses you are going to use for it
(koinup still lack of a tool to select creative commons licenses, but it is already scheduled in our road map......so have a little bit of patience, we will have it)
3) We have made visible only to the owner of a works, some of the links most used to share works, as the EMBED Link and the BBCode Link

Links and BBcode for the owners, only
If you browse Koinup Photos, these days, you can realize now that links as the Embed Link and BBcode are now visible only if you are the owner of the photos
Before the updates, they were visible to everyone. We made this ajustement because some members have asked to us to improve the control of their own works!
This is a first step aimed at giving members a direct and clear control on their works and how these can be used by other members.....
Other updates on this area are forthcoming! Have a bit patience, we have now a lot of updates already scheduled and we are working on them.......
Anyway, any suggestion is very welcome!
