Getty Images Letter Forum / Lets fightback
« on: May 11, 2011, 11:05:35 PM »
We see Getty Images pictures being credited on Oprah and many other shows. Getty presents two images: one to TV , cable , satellite and other industries and makes millions letting them use their images . The other is mean and petty and an extortionist trying to make only thousands from mom and pop operations who struggle to stay in business by intimidating them into quick settlements, some on pictures Getty didn't even own at the time the businesses bought the images.
Its time to let these shows know the other face of Getty Images. I am sure Oprah and other respectable shows would stop using Getty pictures once they know they are extortionists.
People who have received these letters should email these shows and let them know who they are doing business with. Getty and other extortionists should know that in the age of internet we can fight and hurt them where it matters the most: In their pocketbooks.
