Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

March 7, 2014 By Brian Leave a Comment

35 million images in Getty’s catalog are now free

As someone who runs several blogs, this is pretty big news. It looks like the world’s biggest stock photo company is giving up the battle and following the trail that Youtube blazed, and will now offer up their images for embedding for free. This is HUGE — unless you make a living as a photographer — then this sucks.

For example, now if I want to show you a picture of Boba Fett playing baseball, I can do so without the fear of lawyers bombarding my inbox.

I can also show you pictures of dogs dressed up as Batman driving down the sidewalk — without being a paying member of the Associated Press.

Is this a great country or what?

Here’s where you can get all the details about the new Getty Embed feature.
