Title: Getty on FAA
Post by: BaldricksTrousers on January 15, 2013, 08:38
I see Getty are routing Flickr files to Fine Art America and pricing them pretty low, so if it is the 80-20 split there won't be a lot making its way over to the Flickr pool

Is Getty deliberately targeting cut-price markets? The new twitter-trending API arrangement seems designed to target people with a dollar-bin sort of mentality and to push high-end content to them at low prices.

I hope whoever is in the flickr/Getty deal sees this.
They should send their own pics to FAA and get 100%.

I bet that the rules ban them from submitting images that have gone to Getty to anyone else.
