#12Twenty 20[0] started as InstaCanvas providing licensing for instagram photos. It shifted towards a general stock photo catalog to increase inventory. [0]: https://www.twenty20.com
I'll look into this, but I don't believe they have an image license specifically for Instagram reposts only

I love that you are helping creators to defend the value of their work! have you considered investigating partnering with legal startups such as legalzoom, legalist, or someone else to help time strapped creators send the nastygrams as well?
We haven't considered that properly, I think chasing up copyright infringement is a difficult one, especially for Instagram reposts where the payout will most likely be so low.
Having said that, in the US, the CASE act, which will introduce a small claims court for exactly this kind of use case (excuse the pun) made it through the House of Representatives yesterday. So it's an interesting option for sure!

Is there anything unique about your site that prevents Instagram from just implementing licensing themselves?

Nope, not at all. It would be great if they did though, it would actually give them an incentive to protect artists and photographers. Right now they are taking a real back seat with copyright infringement, which is a real shame because it's the creators that bring all the value to the platform and they're the ones that are losing out, whether it's not being properly attributed for their work or brands reposting their stuff without payment.

Makes sense, thanks for taking a crack at fixing this problem!

#17Nice!
I actually approached this problem from the other side a few years ago and made a service which let brands purchase the rights to users' Instagram photos. It was definitely an interesting experience, but this is a great way to help the users a bit.
