Getty Images soliciting amateur photos
From what I've read the T&C and other requirements set by Getty do not favor
the photographer.

Getty Images is probably setting themselves up : for any number of competitive firms to come in and reproduce what they : offer. Anyone can host an image site. You might find this heads up interesting and perhaps useful. Check out www.no-spec.com for some of what you'll run into on CL and what other creative folk are doing to address the abuse. Check out www.gag.org their handbook ($35 at most bookstores) is a gold mine. Especially the section on contracts. Good luck and don't let anyone sell you short.\ We're (husband wife team no the royal we) retired and living a bit higher on the retirement hog as we protected our copyrights. We never, ever do work for hire and rarely do all rights (unless there is an obscene amount of money involved.) |
