FUCK GETTYIMAGES and FUCK YOU MARK!

Don’t try to lure in people when you have been harassing my fellow web developers and sending them letters unfairly asking people to pay anywhere from $1000 to $20,000 or more dollars. Are you serious? We web developers who have gotten sent your threatening letters without even a C&D are going to ruin you. Do you understand my words?

GettyImages, you are extremely stupid starting this scam is now it is going to bite you in the rear and destroy your company.

Although you may have thought it would be an easy way to get cash, the tide is roaring and more and more people are learning about your awful ways of doing business. You are basically making people hate your site, I applaud your stupidity.

I honestly can’t believe how idiotic you are and I guarantee that you will not exist for much longer and that your profits will slowly and then more rapidly dive.

NOW LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION…!

Was it worth it to collect a few million from this scam but ruin the respect of your brand and company. Was it worth it to send thousands of potential and existing clients away with a stupid stunt that will flush away any users who once liked you.

NO, IT WASN’T WORTH IT. But you know what? It’s too late know and because of it your company is going to die miserably!

Hi. If you are reading this and hopefully are interested in Getty Images, I would be keen to get your thoughts (thumbs up or down) on a beta landing page for magazine clients on http://www.gettyimages.com/magazine

I want to use this page to test ideas, content, ways of communicating with magazine clients (picture reserachers, editors and publishers) and garner feedback from all.

Please leave comments on the website or email me on mark.gosnell@gettyimages.com

Thanks!

This is a Web2.0 idea with a pre Web execution Although Youtube also hand picked producers for their revenue sharing program. However YT did not have such a strong competition as Getty has in stock photos through the web. I doubt serious photographers will flock to (probably) low licensing fees offered by Getty if they’re already present in 100 other stocks. Overall - if Getty aimed for the masses, being just a monetization platform - it could work. This way, I doubt there is a web developer or publisher that can’t name 100 competitors to this deal.

You can use http://www.picitup.com to search for flickr content with creative common license.
There are some great visual filters in this site which makes the discovery of good flickr pictures a very simple and fun job.

What a joke…this is a scheme to get cheap content.

Azchael, what is the point of getting discovered when your getting paid hardly anything?

Trey your work is great to look at but its all photoshop. Let loose on it a little man. Also why in the world do you want the prices to lower? That just means less money for you.

FUCK GETTY IMAGES!!

Everyone should boycott Getty Images for their latest scams. We recently got a $1000 demand from them because we had a tiny unlicensed thumbnail image on our site (which we paid for from a web developer). Now they are telling us to cough up $1k or else. And you think that’s bad? Other web site owners who paid for legit images from 3rd party web templates (such as Template Monster) are being hit with over $50k in fines from Getty! And I’m not talking big corporate sites, I’m taking about small businesses, blogs etc.

Here’s their SCAM:

1. They use PicScout to find an unlicensed image on a web site. Apparently PicScout ignores your robots.txt so scans all images on your server.
2. Getty sits on it for 6 months.
3. They send you a demand for 10x licensing costs plus other “undisclosed” fees.
4. They give you 3 choices: Pay the extortionate fees and take the images down, or, pay the extortionate fees as well as license the image, or, don’t pay and get sued.

Yeah, a nice C&D would be nice. If you’ve not looked into this before I recommend the following links, definitely worth a read!
