    Getty does this with all sorts of Public Domain images -- from places like the Library of Congress or even NASA.

    @Deathboy, this is not an over site, nor a mistake. It is a business vector that they pursue aggressively.

    • well ill be curious to learn more. id sure love to see the calculation for the billion. probably funnier than cop drug bust mathdeathboy
    • $25k statutory damages per infringement times ~20k images = $500M. But Getty was convicted of similar less than 3 yrs ago. So statutory damages triple.monNom
    • The math and reason for the 1billion was in the article.... that I guess deathboy didn't actually read.ETM
