Getty Images Letter Forum / Getty's may have a solution but probably not interested in using it.
« on: February 07, 2012, 08:29:13 PM »
I am brand new to this forum - wish I found it earlier but I had a thought which may have been discussed earlier but here we go.
I have been told that Getty's uses bots to troll sites looking for their images. (and)
These trolls can find images with missing file/ownership info which seems to be the case with the image found on my site.
If the above is true,
Then obviously they have the ability or the technology to end almost all unintentional use of copyrighted images by allowing users to submit an image to be "tested" before using. Or having a voluntary testing of a site or batch of images.
Does this sound feasable or am I missing something? (Other than the reason Getty's wouldn't want to solve this problem)
