I will make sure now that I won’t use any banners containing actual pictuers as opposed to graphics.
Doesn’t necessarily resolve the issue. Getty and iStockPhoto both have graphic offerings which are just as protected by copyright law. This is just like cracked software; if you’re using it to make money, and they find out, they’re going to come down on you hard.
Not the smartest move for your merchant to not get the rights to the image. Would be even worse if they did pay, and Getty is getting all worked up for nothing (which sometimes happens).
