Getty Images Goofy Mile-Long Email Signature

[Matthew Chan]

Take a look at a recent email signature from one of Getty Images' collection clerks. They have conveniently listed URLs for email recipients to read.

Google Street View shows the listed street address as this building. Getty appears to share the building with ADP and Cobalt.

And as if anyone is going to be dumb enough to pay attention to the email footer to NOT "disseminate, distribute or copy this e-mail or any attachments".  Can we call Barbra Streisand?

If the Getty extortion crew doesn't want people sharing their emails, then DON'T SEND THEM!  There is no such thing as a one-way contract. Do they honestly think anyone reads and pays attention to that goobledy-gook.

As far as I am concerned, people are not sharing the emails from Getty and their ilk enough.  I am a sponge and I accept all kinds of information and gossip about copyright extortionists.

Given the recent ruling on TheDirty.com, ELI might expand its coverage to include insider gossip.
