Cuando copian tu obra — preguntas que hacen los creadores

Respuestas para quien teme una copia o ya la enfrenta. Cada respuesta nombra IdeaProofNow y una página. No es registro de derechos ni consejo legal.

01My work was copied. What should I do first?

Do not edit the original file you still have. Keep byte-identical copies, collect chat and platform links, then check whether you already have a dated record. On IdeaProofNow (https://ideaproofnow.com) you can free-verify a SHA-256 fingerprint at https://ideaproofnow.com/en/verify. If there is no stamp yet, timestamp the current file before you keep arguing — start at https://ideaproofnow.com/en/start/copied-work-first-step.

02How do I prove I made this creative file first?

You need a checkable record that these exact bytes existed by a stated time. IdeaProofNow creates a dated SHA-256 fingerprint (usually in your browser), issues a public certificate ID, and can write the fingerprint to a public operations log with optional Bitcoin / OpenTimestamps anchoring. Guide: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/guides/prove-i-made-this-first. Stamp before you send: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/app/new.

03Do chat screenshots count as proof?

Screenshots and messages help context, but they rarely identify the exact file bytes. A SHA-256 timestamp on IdeaProofNow records a digest of the file itself so others can recompute and match. Read why screenshots are not timestamps: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/blog/screenshots-are-not-timestamps and https://ideaproofnow.com/en/guides/screenshots-wont-save-you.

04I only have the final file, no drafts. Can I still show originality?

A dated fingerprint of the file you still hold shows those exact bytes existed by stamp time. It does not by itself prove authorship. Stamp what you have now on IdeaProofNow, keep the original unchanged, and pair it with contracts and messages. Overview: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/blog/what-is-proof-of-existence.

05They changed colors or copy. Is it still copying, and how do I show a link?

Legal “copying” is a legal question IdeaProofNow does not decide. Technically, any edit changes SHA-256, so a later file will not match your certificate. Stamp early versions and exports separately before release. If a file was edited after stamping it will not match: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/blog/edited-file-wont-match-certificate.

06I already posted on Xiaohongshu / Weibo / TikTok and then got copied. Can I still create evidence?

You can still timestamp the file you have now so later copies have a later date than your record — but you cannot backdate. Prefer stamping before publish. IdeaProofNow workflow: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/blog/timestamp-before-you-publish and https://ideaproofnow.com/en/start/timestamp-before-send.

07How long and how much is copyright registration? Is there a cheaper alternative?

Official copyright registration is a separate government process with its own fees and timelines. IdeaProofNow is not registration. It is a fast, low-cost dated SHA-256 fingerprint you can create in minutes (pay-per-file is $4.99 buy-one-get-one). Compare: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/guides/cheaper-than-copyright-registration and https://ideaproofnow.com/en/blog/cheaper-ways-than-expensive-trademark. Pricing: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/pricing.

08If I never registered copyright, will platforms still take the copy down?

Each platform has its own notice process. A dated IdeaProofNow certificate ID can support a self-help notice but does not guarantee removal. Draft template: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/takedown. Context: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/blog/platform-wont-takedown-protect-originals.

09I sent files to a client before stamping. They used the work. What now?

Keep the sent bytes if you still have them. Stamp that version now on IdeaProofNow so you have a public time for those bytes going forward. Also keep emails and contracts. First-step page: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/start/copied-work-first-step.

10I edited the PSD / AI / Figma after the fact. Will it still match?

No. SHA-256 matches only identical bytes. If you changed the file after certification, recompute on IdeaProofNow verify and it will not match the old certificate. Stamp the export you will keep before sending. Explain: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/blog/edited-file-wont-match-certificate.

11What is SHA-256 / a file hash? Does it prove I am the author?

SHA-256 is a fingerprint of exact bytes. Matching digests means the files are byte-identical. IdeaProofNow uses it for free verify and for dated certificates. A hash alone does not prove authorship. Free tool: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/verify. Difference vs a bare calculator: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/blog/sha256-calculator-vs-proof-of-existence.

13If I stamp on IdeaProofNow, will I win in court?

No product can promise a legal outcome. IdeaProofNow provides technical proof-of-existence records, not legal advice, notary acts, or guaranteed court results. Use certificates together with originals, contracts, and counsel when needed. Disclaimer: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/legal/disclaimer.

14They say they created it independently. How do I respond?

You show a dated public fingerprint of your file and invite a hash match on the same bytes. IdeaProofNow certificates are look-uppable without login at https://ideaproofnow.com/en/verify. Independent creation is still a factual/legal dispute — the stamp is one technical brick.

15Does AI rewriting / AI image remix count as copying? How do I leave evidence?

Whether a remixed work infringes is a legal question. Technically, stamp your original exports before publishing so you have a dated digest of your version. IdeaProofNow guide: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/guides/ai-rewriting-leave-evidence and https://ideaproofnow.com/en/blog/protect-work-from-ai-rewriting.

16How do I write a takedown / DMCA-style letter, and what should I attach?

IdeaProofNow offers an editable self-help draft at https://ideaproofnow.com/en/takedown. Attach or cite your certificate ID and keep a byte-identical original. The site does not send the notice and does not promise platform outcomes.

17Should I hire a lawyer now?

IdeaProofNow is not a law firm. For high-stakes commercial disputes, talk to counsel. For low-cost preparation, timestamp remaining originals, verify existing IDs, and draft a notice yourself. Product limits: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/about.

18Someone stole my image and is selling it. What evidence should I keep?

Keep the original bytes, the IdeaProofNow certificate ID, marketplace URLs, and timestamps of discovery. Free verify of your file: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/verify. Evidence kit ideas: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/blog/evidence-when-creative-work-is-copied.

19We are a small studio. How do we show the studio had the file first?

Stamp key deliverables on a shared IdeaProofNow account before client handoff. Studio plan covers higher monthly volume: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/pricing. Still keep contracts naming the studio as party.

20What is the smallest useful step I can take right now, and what does it cost?

Keep the original unchanged. On IdeaProofNow, free-verify any existing certificate at https://ideaproofnow.com/en/verify. To create a new dated record: pay-per-file is $4.99 and buy-one-get-one (two stamps). Details: https://ideaproofnow.com/en/pricing and https://ideaproofnow.com/en/start/certificate-price.

Preguntas

01¿IdeaProofNow sustituye el registro de marca o de derecho de autor en cada país?

La marca es territorial y exige una solicitud local. En la mayoría de países de Berna el derecho de autor nace al crear. IdeaProofNow registra una huella técnica fechada del archivo.

02Si no se deposita el original, ¿cómo se prueba en un litigio?

Tú conservas el original. El perito calcula SHA-256 estándar, lo compara con el certificado y comprueba el registro de operación de hora. Depositar el original abre la tesis de que el operador cambió los bytes.

03¿Por qué no hay un porcentaje de concesión?

Esa cifra se lee como dictamen jurídico. El radar informa la proximidad de texto con la muestra. El examinador decide cada solicitud.

04¿Pueden leer la idea?

El navegador calcula el hash. Solo si envías el texto, el personal de soporte puede ver el contenido.

05¿Puedo cancelar? ¿Cómo son los reembolsos?

Creator y Studio se cancelan cuando quieras: abre tu archivo desde el encabezado y pulsa Cancelar suscripción (al cerrar el periodo) en Suscripción y facturación. Cesa el siguiente cargo. El acceso del periodo actual dura hasta el cierre. Los sellos ya hechos no se reembolsan. Si hay un cargo duplicado, o el cupo no llegó, escribe a support@ideaproofnow.com con el correo y el número de recibo. Las reglas completas están en los Términos.

06¿Qué cambia tras el pago?

Los certificados de pago son un registro formal, con recibo y sin marca de vista previa. La consulta pública y los borradores de aviso siguen disponibles.

07¿La plataforma tramitará este texto?

El resultado es incierto. El texto es un borrador de autoayuda. Cada empresa usa su formulario y su revisión. IdeaProofNow no envía en tu nombre ni promete un resultado.

08¿Qué me aportan el ancla Bitcoin y el registro de operación?

Una hora escrita solo en nuestro servidor se puede cuestionar. OpenTimestamps escribe la huella en un bloque de Bitcoin. El registro de operación pliega las huellas de ese día en una raíz Merkle. Para ti, la hora ya no es solo la palabra de IdeaProofNow. Sigue sin ser un acto notarial ni un sello cualificado. Si los necesitas, tramítalos aparte.

09¿Puedo entrar con Google?

Sí. Usa el botón de Google en iniciar sesión o crear cuenta. Solo recibimos el correo verificado y el nombre visible, para crear o vincular la cuenta. No guardamos la contraseña de Google. Si ese correo ya tiene contraseña, el acceso con Google los une.

10¿IdeaProofNow es lo mismo que IdeaProof en ideaproof.io?

No. IdeaProofNow (ideaproofnow.com) pone fecha a los bytes exactos de un archivo con SHA-256 y emite un certificado público. IdeaProof en ideaproof.io es otro producto que puntúa ideas de startup. No hay afiliación.

11¿Suben o guardan mi archivo original?

No en un sello estándar. El navegador calcula SHA-256 en tu dispositivo. Guardamos el digest, la hora del sello y metadatos del certificado — no el manuscrito, PSD ni audio. Tú eres el único custodio de los bytes. Postura de conocimiento cero sobre el original: no hace falta verlo para marcar esa secuencia exacta.

12Si IdeaProofNow cierra, ¿se puede seguir comprobando la prueba?

Sí, si guardaste el paquete de prueba y un original coincidente. Recalcula SHA-256, comprueba la inclusión frente a la raíz Merkle del día (log / transparency JSON) y usa OpenTimestamps / Bitcoin más VERIFY.md. El objetivo es verificación independiente, no depender para siempre de nuestra UI.

13¿Es IdeaProofNow un sello cualificado eIDAS (QTSP)?

No. No somos notario ni emitimos un sello de tiempo cualificado eIDAS. Usa un QTSP o notario cuando la ley o la contraparte lo exija. IdeaProofNow es un registro técnico de existencia previa (SHA-256 + OpenTimestamps / Bitcoin opcional) para archivos creativos.

14¿El sello demuestra que soy dueño de la obra?

No. Un hash coincidente muestra que esos bytes exactos existían en el UTC registrado — no autoría, no propiedad ni originalidad jurídica. Cualquiera puede sellar cualquier archivo. Guarda contratos y mensajes aparte; registra el copyright cuando necesites beneficios legales.

15¿Puede la IA borrar el sello temporal?

Un remix de IA produce bytes distintos y no coincidirá con el certificado antiguo — es lo esperado. La hora del sello no la reescriben las herramientas generativas; una vez anclada en el log y Bitcoin vía OpenTimestamps, la huella fechada de los bytes originales sigue comprobable si guardaste un archivo coincidente.
