33. • THE VIDEO RIGHTS TAB PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE INVID RIGHTS MANAGEMENT APPLICATION. THIS
SERVICE GETS A LINK TO A YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK OR TWITTER VIDEO AND RETRIEVES METADATA
ABOUT ITS RIGHTS, UNLESS ACCESS IS RESTRICTED BY THE CONTENT UPLOADER OR THE SOCIAL
NETWORK. FIRST OF ALL IT PROVIDES THE USER WITH A SUMMARY OF THE REUSE CONDITIONS, AS
DEFINED BY THE SOCIAL NETWORK THE VIDEO IS PUBLISHED IN. IF OTHER REUSES ARE INTENDED, IT
IS RECOMMENDED TO CONTACT THE CONTENT UPLOADER. THIS CAN BE DONE DIRECTLY OR UNDER
THE GUIDANCE OF THE INVID RIGHTS MANAGEMENT TOOL. THE LATTER FACILITATES CONTACTING
THE UPLOADER, CONFIRMING AUTHORSHIP, OR MANAGING THE NEGOTIATION OF THE REUSE
CONDITIONS. ALTERNATIVELY, THE VIDEO RIGHTS TAB INCLUDES INFORMATION ABOUT COPYRIGHT
EXCEPTIONS IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GET CONSENT FROM THE AUTHOR, AS THE USE BY THE PRESS
EXCEPTION OR FAIR USE/FAIR DEALING.

36. THE FORENSIC TAB PROVIDES EIGHT DIFFERENT FILTERS THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO IMAGES TO
HELP THE USER TO DETECT DIGITAL IMAGE TAMPERING – SUCH AS THE USE OF PHOTOSHOP
EDITING SOFTWARE. THIS REQUIRES ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE OF HOW IMAGE FILTERS WORK, SO
THE TAB IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY BEGINNERS TO OPEN SOURCE INVESTIGATION.

44. Zoom in for Detailed Geolocation of the
Videos
45. • YOUTUBE GEOFIND ALLOWS YOU TO SEARCH YOUTUBE VIDEOS BY LOCATION.
USING THE GEOFIND INTERACTIVE MAP YOU CAN SEARCH FOR VIDEOS BY
LOCATION AND SEE WHERE EACH OF THE RETURNED VIDEOS WAS SHOT ON THE
VERY SAME MAP. FOR EXAMPLE I USED GEOFIND TO SEARCH VIDEOS POSTED TO
YOUTUBE IN MANHATTAN. IN THE FIRST TEN RESULTS WERE VIDEOS ON
COOKING SPARE RIBS, MAKE-UP TUTORIALS AND HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON
FACEBOOK. THESE VIDEOS DON'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY REAL LOCAL INTEREST
AND MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN SHOT ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
