There are so many threads on ELI that mentions serious gaffs on the part of Getty Images. They include mis-identifying the image, claiming the amount they are trying to collect is ten times higher, identifying the wrong person or business -- the list is quite long. I am going to start replying to these with a tag: #gettyflubs. I encourage everyone else to do the same.
Why?
In the event that GI decides to take legal action against anyone, I think it would be valuable to be able to show a history of what can best be described as sloppy business practices. Being able to do a search for threads with "#gettyflubs" will make it much easier to collect all the times they've messed up and show a history of how frequently the company "got it wrong."

That's thinking Jerry!

Thanks Oscar! It's great to see you 'round hear. You really are unstoppable.

Let's hope the latest flub is mcCormack's attempt to paint the truth in going after Oscar and Matthew. As a lawyer, he should be held to a higher standard. I hope his playing fast and loose with the facts comes back to bite him in a big way.

I have a few post I will mark as well, I really like this idea Jerry!

Nice! I had some of those in mind. Glad you had a minute to get around to it.

Is there a tagging feature for the admin inside Simple Machines Forum? If not, is there an addin? (If not... one could likely be written. Clearly what we would want is for the administrator to identify something as a "flub". We might want to think of a "type of flub" category.
* hot linking.
* mis-identified image.
* no license.
* after we have two or three in a category we can write a post discussing the 'type' of flub and pointing to the tags.
