Title: Perhaps the BEST quote regarding Getty Images I have ever seen
Post by: Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi) on January 05, 2013, 04:37:07 PM

"Just got back from my UPS box and lo and behold, I got hit w/ a Getty Images extortion package ($1,175 for an image used by my web designer) on a site of mine.

Seeing how this company and its project was a MAJOR failure ($80K loss) and I'm most likely to collapse it (plus the fact that the letter wasn't sent certified) I'd rather take a razor blade to my balls before dipping them in alcohol then write those pricks a check for $1,175.

Somehow I have a feeling he never paid them.  ;D

I saw it on a forum thread trashing Getty for their letters...wasn't a long thread, and not much there worthy except for the post I copied..

That even beats out my, "Getty loves my Schweddy balls.  They're from an old Schweddy family recipe." comment.

I think it hurts more each time I read it.
