As you may know, Getty and Flickr have teamed. A good thing? Big deal? Below is an interesting discussion.

I'd love to hear thoughts on Getty and other stock agencies right on this thread as well.

Okay, so you are also starting a new thread.

Well, Getty is the 800 lb gorilla in the stock imaging space... and they act like it.

They bully their photographers, dictating poorer terms than you can get from smaller firms.

They also are in direct competition with their photographers.

Getty has more images than anyone else online, as well as more buyers. Great place for your work to get lost.

There are all sorts of articles and info online... Just Google for it.

Getty? No thanks! Not for me.
