Where does this come from  ?

Yes, It’s Getty’s promotion for their infamous web res $49 sell out. But now, image buyers get to purchase istock images for $49 instead of $1. What a pretty good deal for image buyers.!!!  Getty is probably thinking that they will make up what they loose on pro photographers  imagery by extracting the substantific marrow out of  the UGC.

It’s all a numbers game for them. let’s see how long it will take Corbis and Jupiterimage to also combine their content..
