Good evidence is specific, dated, and easy to verify
A screenshot alone can be useful, but it is stronger when paired with the exact page URL, the date it was captured, the account or domain displaying the work, and a link to the earliest known original publication.
Context matters too. Cropping, captions, credits, licensing terms, and the way the work is being used can all affect the review. Keep the original page and the suspected repost side by side rather than relying on memory.
Build a simple evidence record
For each suspected repost, keep the source URL, discovery date, screenshot, public uploader identity, original publication link, and ownership notes in one case file. Record changes and responses as they happen. If the facts are unclear or ownership is disputed, pause and seek qualified legal advice.
