I had an intern use a Getty Image he found on the open internet, on our website by accident. We got maybe 100 visitors in a week. He didn’t know it was a Getty images, but yes, he should have cleared the image first. Somehow Getty found it and tried to sue us for thousands of dollars. Literally thousands, the number was completely ridiculous. Luckily I had good legal representation and he got it down to 500 dollars, which is still ridiculous for a small mistake.

Get fucked, Getty

Getty Fucked

Not that I’m fond at all of Getty, but the fact that people are using AI slop instead of real photographs is disappointing.
