When to choose Copyright.eu, when to choose Copyright01
Let's be honest. Copyright.eu's eIDAS certified deposit brings superior regulatory guarantees, qualified electronic signature and identity verification. For heavy contractual stakes or a predictable six-figure dispute, that level of formalism is justified.
For a content creator, a developer, a designer or an author who wants to date works as they go, paying €95 per deposit makes no sense. Copyright01's timestamped SHA-256 fingerprint establishes the same factual prior existence, free for your first 3 deposits, then under €1 per deposit with packs.
Copyright01 is also the only one of the two that registers your published content directly, a YouTube video, a GitHub repo or an Instagram post, with automatic metadata extraction.
Frequently asked questions
Is Copyright.eu more reliable than Copyright01?
Both establish dated, enforceable proof of prior existence. Copyright.eu adds a qualified eIDAS framework, useful for heavy legal stakes. To prove a work existed on a given date, Copyright01's timestamped SHA-256 fingerprint serves the same function.
Why such a price difference?
Copyright.eu operates an eIDAS qualified scheme with identity verification and SecNumCloud infrastructure, a costly regulatory framework. Copyright01 automates cryptographic timestamping without that regulatory layer, which allows the free plan and low-cost packs.
Can I migrate from Copyright.eu to Copyright01?
Your Copyright.eu certificates remain valid, there is nothing to migrate. Simply make your next deposits on Copyright01, starting with the 3 free ones.
Are certificates from both services recognized abroad?
Yes. Both rely on the Berne Convention, which protects works in more than 180 countries. Dated proof of prior existence is the central mechanism in both cases.
