Awesome!

I don't think you need to make daily posts but a presence is great. Every now and then when there are changes or break-throughs and a link to some new information or a news post you just think should go viral is great.

Thanks. And I respect your diplomatic approach.

addition: I think it could help just to put a little link somewhere next to the donate button perhaps... i mean there are so many people being harassed... you don't even have to say anything on twitter but the amount of people visiting this site I'm sure is huge. Power in numbers etc. I'm sure there are 1000's of innocent people and from that, a non defamatory viral campaign can begin and put getty in their place.

Hi guys - this has gone on for too long.

Instead of waiting for the courts to come to their sense of this criminal activity of Gettyimages we could be doing so much more on the social scene.

Here's what you can do...

Twitter about it... retweet posts that people make about it.

twitter.com/gettyimages refer to @gettyimages and use tags like #extortion

Facebook it. Where's the gettyimages extortion fan club? I couldn't find it.

Youtube vids?

Making a mockery of gettyimages is a start. I found a guy posting about it today. And somebody on twitter mentioned it 6 days ago.

In my opinion, gettyimages literally push these images and are centering themselves as the primary provider of images on planet earth. Its like a company coming along and saying they own all the trees and birds in the world. They do very little to stop people getting these images and placing them on other sites and like what happened to me, I took the images from another site that had no copyright notices on it and appeared to be GPL. Now my client is being sued. So wrong.

Bullies. How do we deal with bullies? We gather together and we make it a theme. We bring it to the spotlight. We make gettyimages so uncool you wouldn't want to be  associated with it as a photographer or a designer.

Social media guys. You can make links from this page which is like one click and the visitor is posting a link to their twitter that is informing the world of the malpractice being performed by this mega company who seeks to dominate the media world.

e.g click this to spread the word about the extortion tactics of Getty Images

Gettyimages need to be brought down the same way the KKK was brought down. With their immaturity being brought to the spotlight and into the public eye.
