Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Resolution of Getty v. Advernet (A blow to Getty & Stock photo companies)
« on: January 17, 2012, 07:18:43 AM »
I am new here and I am really impressed of all your work and knowledge. Since English is not my mother tongue please excuse my grammar and misspellings
I am just curious about one point:
How does GI verify that he got the rights of the photos from the actual holder of the rights? For example: My father is a photographer and he does not like so sell his photos. Just in case I think this is a waste of money and I go and register in his name with GI and do the contract with them in his name. (We learned that they do not know their counterparts in person because all goes through their portal)
How do they insure that they are dealing with the correct person through their website?
Thank you much for your help
