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.
