Getty Images find itself in court....again

[Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi)]

At some point Getty Images, Jonathan Klien, Lisa Willmer and that asswipe Timothy B McCormack are really going to start suffering from all of these black eyes getty is getting... Once again a photographer has filed suit for copyright infringement.. I wonder what Getty's defense will be?? Maybe, "we never sold it", "someone told us it was free to use", "our web designer put it on our site".. I hope they loose their asses bunch of trolls the whole lot of them!

This is typical Getty and it seems like they are getting sued about once a quarter for copyright infringement. We should tag this for future reference #Gettyflubs.

Well crap...just to set the record straight, this is an old case from 2005, I somehow overlooked this...I guess this now becomes a #buddhapiflub!

[Greg Troy (KeepFighting)]

And here's the main difference, when we screw up we admit it right away and leave it to show we are honest, human and want the facts straight even if it is correcting an error on our part.  We also don't delete any posts from people who don't agree with us and welcome discussion, I point to DavidvGolliath as an example. Now if you come here and are rude you get responded to in kind but posts are not deleted.

We are open and transparent unlike Getty, McCormick, MF and others who protest when extortion demand letters, public documents and their business model are shared, will not allow professionally phrased comments/discussion that disagree with them on their blogs and websites and some like to make outlandish and nonfactual statements on their blogs/website leaving them up there long enough for their followers to see it then take them down again an hour or two later (apparently they have never heard of screen shots). 

So I remove your #buddhapiflub tag and replace it with #elihonest and #elifactual tag.
