It is in the FAQ (see a link in a first message)

What content will Getty Images represent after the transition?

GI will represent Corbis creative stills, Corbis Motion content, and Corbis archival and documentary content, inclusive of the prestigious Bettmann and Sygma archives, via the GettyImages.com website.

Unless they find a way to bury the stuff directly uploaded to IS and push the veer content to the top paying penies as a partner program sale rather than the standard comission.

Hmm looks like they'd be dropping Veer then? Unless they categorize it under "creative stills"... Not a lot of difference though, it's not like Veer was earning anything noticeable.
