Anyone know anything about this place?

I don't know but would be interested to find out as I have images there also.

They actually came up when I was googling "sean locke corbis images" ...

There's a DMCA notice link at the bottom of their home page that brings up the Zazzle DMCA notice information.

And there's our old friends Share buttons at the top. 

A lot of them have getty watermarks when you zoom in or click the "design" button.

One of "Sean's" stamps was created on March 1st 2012.

Didn't iStock or Getty recently announce that they are closing their on demand store on Zazzle?

Well here is another one called "prophoto" which looks like to be affiliated somehow with the Getty family.

Maybe it's time again to contact CR at IS to get to the bottom of this - unless they just hit the usual reply button:

"This is all fine. Do not worry."

Just havin' some fun here

Now they tell me this:

"As noted in our previous email dated on 06/04/2012, in product is question is from a content partner of Zazzle. Thru our partnership with ProPhoto, Zazzle is licensed to use this image for merchandising on Zazzle from Getty Images. http://www.zazzle.com/prophoto/gifts?cg=196136645691346603."

Easy enough was take a look and found registered by proxy so the owner wants to be unidentified. I can't remember if there is a FOIA provision for that? Supposedly the Internet requires real names and identification for a website. I get my request every couple of years for all of them, checking my address and phone number? Oh yes, but you pay GoDaddy, they register the name and you get it anonymously. Seems kind of odd that someone with a website would want to be anonymous, doesn't it? I mean World Wide Web with information and photos and then, secret identity for registrar? 

Registrant Name:                             Registration Private
Registrant Organization:                     Domains By Proxy, LLC

My webhost automatically conceals my identity, without asking me, or me asking them.
The host of my husband's site reveals his identity, without me asking or them asking me.
Could be just an hosting company's policy. Or not.

Maybe but people pay an extra fee to be anonymous. The idea is you register through the company and they are the registrant, not you (legally) so your name is hidden. The whole Internet registration process was supposed to be so that you or I or anyone could see who was running a site. It was supposed to be transparent and open. So if GoDaddy is the registrant, they have a record, which is not public from what I see, but kept in case of legal issues, so it's not secret, just no public.

Also you can't register under assumed names and pseudonyms. In theory.

The same ideas that make the Internet free and open, are also designed to make it open and not filled with frauds and fakes. This registration dodge gets around that.

Longish story but some people I know who exposed puppy farms and animal abuse had their site shut down by one of the people who had been outed, which included her court convictions. She wrote to the site host and threatened, she also had people calling the site owner. They shut down the site exposing her actions. So the guy had to register private with someone else to continue to publish the facts and truth.

All my sites are registered in my name and public and basically, no one cares.  I don't really have anything close to controversial on my pages.
