    Getty Images Race To The Bottom

    http://www.photobizcoach.com/2014/03...s-race-bottom/

    Imagine the exposure you will get for free images ??????

    Recently Getty Images announced the availability of over 3 Million images for free to anyone who wants them. I had to stop and pause. Generally speaking I have no issue to voice my opinion, but in this case I had a feeling that there was more to it. Something didn’t add up. I wondered WHY would an image business give away images for free? It just didn’t make sense.

    Interesting read... lots of talk about boycotting Getty, but one would have to think with there huge inventory of images already, the horse has already bolted....
