I started new on new thread on IS but it lives about 12mins and its all about this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
OK
For now I find one of my image on GoogleDrive.
First I asked IS customer support to take my image down from GoogleDrive.
They told me something like this:

"We continue to work with Google on improving the OBVIOUS ISSUES with the implementation of our content within Google Drive?!?"

and IS customer support continues with:

"Google holds a LEGITIMATE LICENSCE license to use these files so opting out is simply not an option."

------------------------

OK
If it is not option to redeem my image/s which IS/getty sold it to google, then you are responsible to compensate me with right license lets say "SELL RIGHTS LICENSE" to compensate my property.
(Anyhow? Did they show us contract or any coherent idea WHAT IS ALL ABOUT, three weeks are going to pass?)
Also I must to mention that as I read compensation (in this hidden deal) for this images at GogleDrive is whooping 12$ from which I DONT't SEE a DIME.
After number 12 I only expect to add few zeros lets say 3 zeros after number 12 and we can talk about Proffesionally compensation.


WHERE WE NOW and WHAT WE HAVE?
- 3 WEEKS of silence from IS/Getty so they are willingly impotent and with that silence malevolent?
- Very Professional while my image/s are unprotected and prostituted on GDrive.
- NO ANY DIME FOR NOEXCLUSIVES in this SHT!!!

I want name and surname who is responsible for this crap.

PS
LOBO
Don't even dare to erase this thread...

Suijo: You're probably going to get banned off the istock forums if you keep posting like that. Your best bet is to contact a lawyer (I believe you said you knew one personally) and have them write a formal letter to Google. That you are the owner of said images, that the metadata has been stripped from them which is in violation... etc. lot of information out there now for you to make your case. My guess is if they think your images are "questionable" then they might just pull them from google drive. At the very least they should reply to you and might provide some more information that we could all learn from. All the best.

Google holds a LEGITIMATE LICENSCE license to use these files so opting out is simply not an option.

I suspect that this is going to become the official response that no one wants to hear. There won't be an opt-out.

I never thought there would be, but I get the feeling that a lot of folks are holding out hope that an opt-out will be made available. They don't want to have to tell Google or anyone else that they're going to be limited in the content they can choose from.

Matter of fact I can see this eventually being spun into a mandatory inclusion in the partner program for exclusives as well. Getty wants to be able to move any and all of the content on their various sites around to other Getty-owned sites at will. Opt-outs are prohibitive.

So... which of files was on Google? Where is it coming from? It can't be coming from Vetta/Agency through iStock as a non-exclusive. So why don't you ask where you actually submitted the image instead of the iStock forums?
