|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Want a deal on 2009 MLB All Star Photos? Jeff Kowalsky, Photographer West Bloomfield | MI | United States | Posted: 10:22 AM on 07.15.09 ->> How much do you want to bet the images are not properly licensed? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320398836184#ht_1344wt_9...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Just wondering how the heck they could steal so many images so quickly?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Not only is this a huge problem for Getty, but any photographer who contributes to Getty is just asking for their images to be stolen with the lack of checks and balances regarding when/where images are going.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

He said he reported it to Getty once and was met with indifference from the person he contacted.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If you assume the photographer signed away the rights (not judging, just assuming) then they would have no claim. So is it up to the photo service? The league? Seems like they would care since it's potential lost sales. Or are they only interested in major commercial uses/misuses of the images?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

A photographer who uploads photos to the Getty server does not need to have the ability to download other people's photos from the server. This seems like a relatively easy problem to fix.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
