Lets say this is our idea and we the artist want to start this model. First no rt. click of course and then 20cents for clicked view and no commercial use! If Sean stated this experiment I would probably trust it I do think it is a new way to make money so how can we improve it and use it for your own good instead of Getty. What would it take for this model to work? Can it work? Please I am as angry as you but I can look down the road as well.

Trying to think this through on a positive side to try and grasp both sides. What if you got paid via advertising 20cents per ad view on our image would it be worth the risk seeing it is non-commercial use? No I am not a Getty fan boy I am just trying to see if there is real money to be made with this concept. How do people do with youtube ads? do they work? Seeing that images are easier to share the views could be higher then youtube for a lot of them. Forget Getty for a moment...is there any money to be made with this model?

I've not read all the detail around this, so sorry if this question has already been answered..
It sounds as though Getty are planning to monetize this concept by including advertising along with the embedded images that can be used freely.
Question - will Getty be paying 20% royalties to artists for the revenue generated from this?
The answer to your question is yes, George.

I am not saying SS I am saying all the collections on Getty! Seems they still want to sell some images. I think this is aimed at trying to destroy SS.

If this is such a swell idea then lets open ALL the collections on Getty! This is a PR stunt aimed at killing ShutterStock.

The problem is Getty itself not image thieves! You see with an account you could always get the low res size for free non-commercial use. Getty says "people keep stealing our images so we should just give them access anyway" Well how about a water mark on all sizes until you purchase? I know that is a truly unique idea but you would have had Getty advertising and more exposure if people used the watermarked images in their blogs. Second Getty has a outdated price structure and that is because that are so greedy! they could have easily done what ShutterStock has done years ago but instead they only focus on how to twist and turn different ways to make money on what they have vs finding new buyers and invest in decent web technology. Throwing up your hands and saying this doesn't work is a cop out. How can Stocksy make a profit so early if that is the case? How can ShutterStock continue to grow and find new buyers? This move by Getty is aimed to be a one two punch to ShutterStock. First give images away free to bloggers and all non-commercial web use, next make a sub. site like ShutterStock and drive buyers there for the rest of the low end market sales. All this is done at the expense of we the artist and Getty could care less. People that say this is good just like to be abused. I make a product, get model releases, scout locations in order to SELL my work.

Craig Peters I am trying to go into real estate now can I please have your house to give away as a boost to my business? Thank-you I knew you would understand. Just think of the buzz and exposure I will get and since I am so successful Mr. K as I know we are friends I get yours next :-)
If SS came out and stated "We will never give your hard earned content away, this is our business promise to you" open the doors to some high end editorial around the price of Stocksy and keep pursuing buyers they could really make a difference.

Getty to Crook: Hey you stole our image. Crook: No it was free! Getty: You ripped it off our viewer. Crook: What viewer?? I just saw it online and I know Getty just gave away 35million images so this is "fair use" for my business Getty: You didn't pay the artist Crook:Neither did you so I guess we are even.

IF Getty put ads. on the viewer then who would make the money the blogger? Getty-yep, The Artist-doubt it OK maybe 2cents. If you just want the image for your blog then it is really easy to rip it out of the viewer. Since you already have advertising and sponsors you just need an image hence why microstock was born.Trust me out of 35 million I will find something that can work so why ever buy an image for my blog again. I have purchased images for my blog before. Now the problem is commercial us as I said before you can easily rip the image out of the viewer and strip the meta data. Now you decided to use it to sell your product will Getty be able to stop that? Now you purchase the image and can freely use it for your commercial needs but when 35 million free images hit the market you lose all control.

The Getty Viewer on your blog is controlling your advertising and income of which you will never see! You can't scale it to fit your blog so people will just rip the image out. You can easily strip the meta data in photoshop and bam put your own adds up. Ohh that is not how you are supposed to use it and Getty dose not want this to happen but you try to police 35million free images and you see you can't.

This was not inevitable! This is the low road and will put good people out of a job. We need to rally here and now we need to take to twitter and tweet more than Getty dose. You see you don't need the stupid viewer just right click the image and bam it's stripped of data and you are free to use it now any way you like! Oh they are going to police this yeah right!! Where dose this leave SS?

News flash you don't need Getty Viewer. Just go sign up for a free account. Now find your image. Open to comp size right click and save a ahhh now you don't need the viewer for your blog and no water mark!

If you want to use my image then buy it!
644
« on: March 05, 2014, 21:17 »
No you will not make more money! people don't care about the artist they just want the image when they need it. I don't look at images on blogs and find out who shot it because I don't really care. I only care when I need to buy an image and I am not going to go find the Getty view box to get one!

Notice not ALL of the collections are included here they are aware it's not good for the artist but great to throw some adverts on the viewer and make some cash. Humm lets stop people from stealing our images....OK give them away that will fix it. How will you ever police this? so I embed a image on my blog am I going to now turn around and buy it?? Ahhh sure oh please let me pay NOT! oh I need and image for a corporate presentation bam that is easy it's free!! NOTICE oh its Non-commercial use? sure are you ready to send out millions of letters asking for payments the artist will never see? probably

If an outage this long was not planned then we are truly shafted! If this was planned then there should have been an announcement!
