Wow apparently despite having Getty Images plastered over it, you can’t post Getty Images? So if I scrub out the watermark, it’s ok?
Isn’t that like the opposite of needing to source news articles?

Getty Images are litigating against people world wide atm for reproducing images without permission, so as long as you get permission from them you will avoid litigation.

Some sites have been shut down completely as they cannot afford to fight it.

Not blaming you guys, just after years of having their shit everywhere on the internet plastered with their names prominently on the photos, now all of a sudden they turn around and demand payment for giving them that free advertising.

That story of the US cops who sent merkins with outstanding warrants free holiday vouchers and then locked the doors behind them when they all arrived to collect, was impressive. But convincing the underworld to use a bespoke app that the Feds can use to monitor their shenanigans is next level f**kery.

Ive always wondered how its possible for use to copy n paste entire articles from other sites, when everything is heading down a paywall path

The Phantom Secure operators who handed over their platform to the Feds are now facing a life in witness protection. Better than prison I suppose.
