Getty Images is asking the court for damages, as well as an injunction prohibiting Stability AI from using its photos or watermark in an unauthorized manner. Furthermore, the lawsuit is seeking an order that would require Stability AI to delete all versions of its Stable Diffusion neural network that were trained on Getty Images photos without permission.

When you use Filmora9 to edit your video without purchasing its full version, there will be a hideous watermark applied to the video. This post will help you remove the unwanted watermark without buying.

I am sorry that you and your wife have to pay but I actually applaud Getty for what they are doing. Too many pictures are being stolen and used without proper licensing. By Getty doing this, it actually protects us small photographers.

Picking up on the last sentence from the OP. What you surmise should not happen because people who use images in promotional materials should be aware that they can't simply use other people's images without prior agreement of terms. Just because an image is "unmarked" does not mean its available at all or available free. If the image is not clearly identified as available for commercial use free then you need to assume that you need permission for your purpose and agreement on terms from the owner or agent.

Getty Images completely redesigned their watermark, and the new design is amazing. It gives credit to the photographer, in the image itself, and it has a link where you can find out more about the image at any time.

Finally, do I even need to point this out? Putting the link on the photo is a genius move. I cannot believe no-one else has thought of it. The old watermark was ugly and designed to keep you from sharing or using the image. The new watermark looks great, and with social media, each one of these images is like a little advertisement for the image itself. Any time a Getty Images picture goes viral, that link, embedded in the photo, is going to bring people directly to a place where they can license the photo. The photographer is going to get credit too, it's a win for everyone.

Getty Images is dropping the watermark for the bulk of its collection, in exchange for an open-embed program that will let users drop in any image they want, as long as the service gets to append a footer at the bottom of the picture with a credit and link to the licensing page. For a small-scale WordPress blog with no photo budget, this looks an awful lot like free stock imagery.

3) Wraparound text: Although this is an easy fix if you know how to change your CSS on WP or implement your own short code, Getty should know better than to offer an embed code without offering instructions on how to wrap text around their images as most bloggers inexperienced with coding will be scratching their heads for days trying to figure this one out.

Back in March, Getty Images made some serious waves among those who surf the net by announcing that their vast photo library, stretching back over 100 years, would be made available free to use without a watermark. In exchange for this watermark-free image, customers will simply have to embed the photo (a process that will add a footer with proper accreditation and a link to licensing information). This move may not provide free high-quality stock photos for all, but at first glance it seems pretty close.

Please license any Getty Images that you use publicly, including images that you share to social networks or set as a page featured image. The watermarked preview images are there for you to get a feel for how an image would look on your site. Until you license the image, the preview will be low-resolution.

If you keep a watermarked image without licensing it, your live site will have a banner stating "This page is using preview images from Getty Images. Please purchase them to remove the banner." This banner will appear on all pages of your site.

Until I investigated, it gave me pause, as I am represented by Getty through National Geographic, and surely did not want my images out there without payment. After all, I am a professional photographer who makes my living selling images.

do you know anything about the use of photos prior to 1955 copyright which are now held by Getty images? For example the slim aarons archive they purchased , can they claim copyright to those pictures that were taken before then by him?

Not a lot of info about that online!

Most of my recent Flickr photos are of small size (usually 800px x 800px) and are "framed," with a signature. May I still submit them here for your review and then, if you like them and accept me as a contributor to the Flickr Collection on Getty Images, submit the unframed, unsigned, larger size images to you?

Thanks mr.blue.sky for the good questions.

Generally if the Sears Tower (or any other private building like that -- the Chrysler building, the Space Needle, etc.) is a part of a cityscape or skyline scene where there are also a number of other buildings, a property release is not needed because it is not the main subject of the photo (even if it is the tallest).

Public transportation systems without logos (and it's good that you mentioned no logos, because sometimes, like with the London Underground the logos are trademarked) or recognizable people, or advertisments, are usually OK. Some systems may have regulations about photography, or the types of gear or photo shoots you can do in them, though that is usually more related to security than property issues. For any specific systems you're best to check out the rules and regulations in advance.

And for diptychs, it really depends on the image(s). There's no hard and fast rule about it. If they really work together in a crucial way, like a before/after for instance, then we will consider them. If they're more likely to be of interest as single images, then that would be preferred. If you think about the images you see in use in advertising, etc. very few of them are anything but single images.

SoPhast: you do not need a model release to simply take the photo. or to use it for personal reasons such as a gallery show or posting on flickr. but you most definitely need model releases if you want to sell them commercially. you can't use someone's image to sell a product without their consent (unless you want a messy lawsuit!).

some sites might not require releases, but art buyers and designers/art directors at major agencies wouldn't bother using using them because you simply can't trust that the person in the photo won't come back and sue you.

You can actually sell images of folk for commercial purposes without a release but definitely NOT for purposes of promoting a product. I have sold many images of ordinary folk which appear on covers of editorial type magazines around the world. This is considered editorial usage and generally speaking model releases are not required but as I get paid, it would be considered a commercial purpose. There is, however, an exception. A few years back, I sought the advice of an intellectual property partner who worked for the same law firm as I. One of his points in relation to the question of obtaining model releases for editorial purposes was "...the photograph cannot be published juxtaposed with text that suggests that she or he is the person to whom the text might apply. That would require their permission. In other words it must not be such as to contextually implicate the subject". In other words, if you sell an image of a young woman and it appears in an article on, say, prostitution, then you would most definitely require a model release but I daresay you would not get one! That is the reason why Getty and other stock libraries will only sell images of identifiable people on a rights managed basis as there is more control over the use of the images and will require model releases ...and that is the reason why I prefer RM over RF.

Thanks for that Sheila - I've jsut started trying to sell images and have been avoiding identifyables like the plague.

Does the same principle extend to buildings then - ie if I photograph a pub and sell the image to say a tourist information leaflet company I'd not need a release because I'm not selling a 'product'. I do accept that it would be unwise to sell the image if it was branded something like "Alcohol poisoning kills 3,000 a week".
