## Description

This plugin can be used as a discrete but efficient tool for websites which have
to make sure that copyright information for images is mandatory.

How it works: It simply blurs all uploaded images. The original only gets restored
when the copyright info is set.
 The text field for the copyright info is provided
as a form field in the attachment details view.

A simple but elegant solution to enforce copyright discipline among authors and 
editors.

This plugin is compatible with the plugin “Enhanced Media Library” (tested with 
version 2.4.5).

## FAQ

  How can I get the copyright text of an image?

Copyright texts are saved as postmeta fields with meta key “copyright”.
 Use the
attachment_id, the meta key “copyright” and the core function “get_postmeta” to 
retrieve the copyright text of an image.
