Getty is the evil leviathon of the stock imagery world. Buying up or shutting down every stock image site that gives any competition to their overpriced monopoly. I refuse to purchase anything from Getty or any of their subsidiaries based on their heavy handed tactics. Fuck Getty! This pretty much ruined my day.
