Great news.

Getty is the official Olympics Games photography company thus Google has no case
That means no one can take a picture at the Olympics and sell it for a profit. Only Getty can make money on them. Anything you post must be low-res, or else, the Getty and Olympic groups lawyers will take you down.

The number one dirtiest company of the Internet age. They make Active.com seem like a customer-first organization.
Look up Getty Images' legal past, mostly with mom and pop bloggers.

This extortion is the major profit center for Getty Images. If you have a website or blog and have a problem, you don't need to pay them and you don't need a lawyer. All you need to do is go to your hosting company or domain registrar and buy private registration for your site.
They just grab the low-hanging fruit (people stupid enough to pay them).
You nazis are all ANTI-SEMITES trying to destroy the Jews who own Getty I.

Exactly. They take a volume approach (if we send enough extortion letters, maybe we'll get 1 in 20 people to pay us the ridiculous amount of money we're demanding).
Pay up you cheap cheaters!

Tell them to stop trying to destroy us with their 'refugees' and open borders policies.
IPhones should be banned from the Olympic Games and every USATF and NCAA track meet.

No reason to ban Windows Phones since nobody has them anyways ;-)
