And after they make a profitable sale, the new owners will want to make more profit. It is a shame we can't get together and buy them, I would put in $5

F&H just want to pump up the balance sheet ready for a profitable sale, why would they care about contributors?

Who can blame them ?

Their choice is about either screwing new contributors getting 80% of their sales or
screwing their exclusives getting 60% of their sales but also selling their high res files
at 0.25$ via ThinkStock.

However we turn the cards on the table it's a win-win scenario... for Getty.
