I figured out a way to hold smart device companies and snoopers who sell information collected by the internet of things in your house accountable!
All those targeted ads based on the things seen in your house or heard while you're talking in your house (heard through your smart tv, your phone, tablet, kitchen appliances etc..)
If you put up a small transparent copyright sign with your name on it... and put it in front of your smart devices such as a smart TV , or anything with a camera on it....
If someone takes it and sells it.. they are violating copyright law
A way to hold the smart tv and ioT companies accountable if you start getting targeted ads afterwards, you know the information is being collected and sold with your copyright logo on it..... you could then immediately sue the TV company who made your TV as well as the internet provider and anyone else snooping and selling the images to 3rd parties online.
Simple: Put your name and a copyright logo in the lower corner of the smart tv's view of the roomMake sure its big enough to read from a distance of a few feet from the TV or smart device.
Could also be done with a small sticker over wherever the cameras are located, but they're hard to find...
Much easier to print out your name and put a copyright symbol on it, along with the terms of service you make for it (no use, pay me to use my info etc) ....
This is how storm chasers copyright their content for instance, and anyone who takes the video or pictures from the live streams can be held legally accountable.
It's called a "watermark" and you can put it anywhere in view in the room you're in ! You claim rights to anything in your house on camera by putting a watermark in view of the camera ! If they remove it or try to circumvent it, that's even more of a crime than just taking it without paying you or asking.
If the smart TV or smart device picks up the watermark and the company records it or sells it, big no no.
For audio recording devices, you would have something that plays once every few hours verbally which says something about no recording allowed.
Have fun!
