Getty Makes Nonsensical Statement On Photographer Carol Highsmith's Lawsuit For Falsely Claiming Copyright | Techdirt

"As you may recall, we just recently wrote about photographer Carol Highsmith's copyright lawsuit against Getty Images, for falsely claiming copyright in her images (and demanding she pay to use her own images...) which she had purposely donated to the Library of Congress to make them available for the public to use, royalty-free. A PR person from Getty has reached out to us and pointed us to Getty's completely nonsensical "statement" on the lawsuit (and, actually, the email pointed us to the wrong URL, but we found it anyway)."
