Nice site. Glad to see others are engaged. I signed their petition, but I have to say I'm not crazy about how it takes your signature and then asks for money.

I am glad too that there is finally a petition gathering real comments and signatures about Getty's unethical practices. Hopefully it can gain some momentum as I see it in the search engine results too.

I also signed the petition and then saw the donation request form appear after signing. But upon further review, it is actually [ http://www.iPetitions.com ] asking for a donation and not Boycott Getty.

iPetitions is the provider that hosts online petitions for free, and it looks like donations is how iPetitions keeps providing their service for free.

Best,

And if you overlooked this link... here are 100's of comments left by folks signing the petition.

Lots of informative and interesting stories about their personal experience with Getty.

While we are at it, I want to also call out another brethren website, http://stopgettyimages.com.

I don't think any of us know who operates BoycottGettyImages.com and StopGettyImages.com but we welcome their support and their voice to the larger fight.

I actually have info on the newest site to pop-up boycottgetty.com, have not reached out to them just yet, I also have some info of who is behind the stopgettyimages site, as I did some research back when we first learned of them.

All of these sites support our position that ELI is addressing a valid and growing concern in the internet community. We were the first, but we are clearly not the last!
