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."
