Reception

Plagiarism Today praised the website for having a "rich API" and being "feature rich", but stated that the website could be "confusing and intimidating to use" for those inexperienced with copyrighting.[6]

Sites such as Jamendo,[7] dibujando.net,[8] talentyArt[9] and VirtualGallery have partnered with Safe Creative to protect the output of their users via copyright.

Authors of WIPO survey on private registries[10] states that as long as it is possible to testify about the technical characteristics of online registries, there is no reason to doubt about the validity of the generated evidence. Also they consider that one of the main advantages of a private registry based on transparency, such as Safe creative, when comparing them with public official registries is to make copyright information quickly available to the public and those interested in reaching collaborations and partnerships.
