Getty Images Prices
« on: July 25, 2013, 04:46:11 AM »
I received a letter from GI last month. I looked up the images on their site, gettyimages.nl, they ask 182 euro per month per image for smallest size in lowest resolution for use on a web in the Netherlands. I cannot imagine anyone paying this for a very common picture, similar of which there are many for sale for 10 euro or less, for  so I wanted to look what the price in america is. I tried to open gettyimages.com, but I can't open this site.
The law in the Netherlands is different on copyright. A company can only be compensated for actual damage, in this case 182 euro per month per image.
I wonder if GI-prices differ from country to country. In a country were they cannot claim damages, the prices must go up. Does anyone know?

Getty's "Rights Managed" image prices do indeed vary, depending on usage, size, and i'm assuming geo location, as they do ask for counrty names. They have also been known to move images from being royalty free into rights managed to jack up the price for infringement collection purposes.
