I think to contact the media asking them to stop buying getty images and maybe use social media to get the word out would be a better idea - Tweet, blog etc.

Some occupation. We couldn't even get 100 people to sign a petition. I don't thing 4 people sitting around in front of Getty would be seen as anything more than loitering.

I believe the primary reason is that most people want to stay anonymous.  Signing a petition would require you to reveal your identity. Most people don't really care to deal with this anymore than they have to.  It is sort of like how the readership is far greater than the actual number of active posts.

And quite frankly, thus far, fighting these extortion letters is actually pretty simple once you understand the moving parts.
