The partnership between Getty Images and Flickr has caused a lot of interest today because it will eventually allow the amateur photographers to earn money from professionals who want to use their pics.
Flickr put out the following message to it’s subscribers :
“You all take remarkable photographs. From documenting momentous change to capturing the small precious moments around you, the Flickr community has been sharing some remarkable photographs for over four years.
Team Flickr has long wanted to create a way to make it easier for those who use photos as a part of their daily business to do so in a way that respects the talent and rights of our members.
The great folks at Getty Images and Flickr are joining forces to create a collection of royalty free, rights ready and rights managed photographs. This announcement is just the first step and there’s a lot to do before we launch. We’ve created a FAQ to address what we think will be the initial questions.”
