I was thinking I don't know but do you think the movie stars sign some kind of an agreement with Getty images that if they take their photo and Getty posts it on their site and someone does purchase the photo do they give a cut to the movie stars? I mean they should get something since it is them in the pics. Getty watermarks all their pics and can keep track of them all. Just was thinking about this
I think it is a waste to have all those pics out there and you have to pay big bucks just to use one. that is alot of pics not being used for public. I mean that is what the movie stars are there in front of the camera for,, They need and want the exposure. Millions of pics are there but you have to pay an arm and a leg for them to be used. So what happens to all the pics that are not used? What a waste if you ask me.
Maybe Getty should give them back to the stars and then they can do what they want with them. Just a thought But then again when we use his pics maybe he should get compensation for them as well. OH MY!!! ME SPEAKETH AND THINKETH TO MUCH!!!! NEVER MIND.

I have read about some celebrities (big names mostly) give permission to have photographers to take their pics and whatever gets sold goes to celebrities charity and other things.
Getty?? Not sure but I bet they give to charity or something on behalf of the stars rather they have or not an agreement.
I do agree with you if nothing isn't done with it. Yes it would be a waste. If I knew it was going to charity than I will purchase..depending on the cost.
Contacting Getty and asking questions may solve or maybe someone on here may know more.
