Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Pinterest New Relationship With Getty Images
« on: October 28, 2013, 09:56:49 AM »According to this article, Getty claims it will compensate the artists. Whether that is true, and whether the compensation will be a significant percentage of the revenue that Pinterest pays Getty ... I don't know.

And of course it has photographers and illustrators that want to be compensated for their images getting used. Getty says that it will be sharing the fee with its contributors (that is, those photographers and illustrators) — which means that this deal closes up another awkward copyright hole for Pinterest.
