iStockPhoto.com / Another BAD Deal from Getty / Istock
« on: July 29, 2013, 08:26 »
Getty did it again, I'm not sure when they started it but it seems that the German company 1&1 is giving away Getty exclusive photos and illustrations for FREE again. If you saw your pictures on many German websites, this could very well be because 1&1 (one of the biggest hosting companys in Germany) implemented a feature that is very similar to what google offers to its customers.

Users are able to insert pictures for free (after they paid a monthly fee to 1&1) in their personal AND business websites. The whole thing looks so familiar to the google thing that I tend to believe that Getty is bending your contracts again to the extreme. And I guess there are a lot more of that deals then we think.

Many pictures are from Istock exclusives like Yuri / Globalstock also a lot of contibutor that are not so deeply affiliated with Getty.

You can insert and download pictures up to size around 800px x 600px.

What a "professional" partner.

Some pictures for your viewing pleasure:

These quotes remind me of the current istock management, it's from the book "Mastery" by Robert Greene (a real good read by the way):

"In the course of your life you will be continually encountering fools. There are simply too many to avoid. We can classify people as fools by the following rubric: when it comes to practical life, what should matter is getting long-term results, and getting the work done in as efficient and creative a manner as possible. That should be the supreme value that guides peoples actions. But fools carry with them a different scale of values. They place more importance on short-term mattersgrabbing immediate money, getting attention from the public or media, and looking good. They are ruled by their ego and insecurities. They tend to enjoy drama and political intrigue for their own sake. When they criticize, they always emphasize matters that are irrelevant to the overall picture or argument. They are more interested in their career and position than in the truth. You can distinguish them by how little they get done, or by how hard they make it for others to get results. They lack a certain common sense, getting worked up about things that are not really important while ignoring problems that will spell doom in the long term."
