Change of ownership at Getty

(1/1)

Ethan Seven:
I wonder if this will prompt any changes to how and how often they pursue infringements.

Matthew Chan:
Very interesting.

aot:
Only time will tell. Having your name attached may steer Getty in a different direction. But, unless enough independent creatives join hand and work against copyright trolls and bring end to the "statuary damage" clause, it's hard to say if copyright extortion schemes will slow down or end.

Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi):
Gettys reputation is in the trash and it willcontinue to be there, both users ( letter recipients) and photographers hate Getty Images and what they stand for. Jonathan Klein did a very thorough job of tarnishing a once well respected name.
