How to buy pictures from Getty Images?

Question

I used to buy pictures from Getty Images from this guy who was able to get them for $5 for an 8x10 picture. He got caught though after selling thousands of photos over the coarse of a year and he had to stop selling them. I haven't found any other person who can sell getty image photos (atleast an 8x10) for that cheap so is there anybody else out there on the internet that has access to printing Getty images and sells them?

Answer 1

My response to your pathetic attempt for justification. As I said before Copyright Infringement is a Federal Offense so soliciting and/or purchasing the photos from the first guy was your first ridiculous idea. Now you are soliciting again but this time in a public forum. Now, as creator of my art I become the sole owner of MY intellectual property unless I choose to give consent to another for either complete ownership or partial. What makes sense to me is that you have no respect or integrity so I guess what will make sense to you is the federal fines that could be levied against you that will make the price of the photo look like pocket change. What the hell do you need all these stolen photographs for anyways. To hang on your wall or I would assume you are somehow turning them around and making a profit, (another felony). Are you so inadequate of a person that you can't create your own images or find a legal and ethical way to get them?

Have a bit of honor.

Your real question is "How can I steal this image and get away with it?". Well stop that! EDIT: Well you dont walk into WalMart and open a bottle of pop and say "Its not stealing, its just for my personal enjoyment" do you? Getty Images is just trying to run a business and that watermark is making it possible for them. Somebody took the time with their camera equipment to snap the shot and get it right. And now you want to be able to just say "well it's just for my own enjoyment". Have you ever heard the term starving artists?

Penny stocks don’t cost much money and promise big profits. But trading penny stocks is also a good way to lose money.



Sure, it’s possible to profit when you understand the game. Learn here https://tr.im/H9LQC



For investors who can’t afford shares of Google or Apple, the potential gains from trades like this are too good to pass up. So penny-stock trading thrives. With a relatively small investment you can make a nice return if the trade works out.

Answer 7

in response to your last update....

But you got them for $5 illegally. Whether or not you knew it was illegal, it WAS illegal for the guy to sell them to you for $5.

That was the point of the second poster.

You are a thief, whether you know it or not.
