Title: No license due restrictions on Getty images
Post by: luckeyman on October 23, 2015, 02:49

I'm wondering why all my images get this restriction:

Sorry , we are not able to license media # 523892429 due to country , company and / or publication restrictions .

My images are on Istockphoto and when I search on google for my images on Getty I can find them but when I get on their site I get this restriction.

Anyone experienced the same and know what to do?

As you are indy, your photos can only be bought by the subset of Getty buyers who are in the Getty Plus system, meaning they can buy Getty or iStock (?or TS, maybe?) files from one account.
Anyone, like you or me, who is not a G+ buyer sees that misleading message, instead of a helpful link to where the file can be bought on iStock.
Nothing we can do about it.

Thanks Sue for clearing that for me :)
