Petition on change.org to boycott Getty Images
« on: August 02, 2011, 09:35:06 PM »
Friends,

I just created a petition entitled Stop Getty Extortion Letters: Boycott Getty Images and iStockPhoto, because I care deeply about this very important issue.

I'm trying to collect 100 signatures, and I could really use your help.

To read more about what I'm trying to do and to sign my petition, click here:
http://www.change.org/petitions/stop-getty-extortion-letters-boycott-getty-images-and-istockphoto?share_id=KJMnZFsoao&pe=pce

It'll just take a minute!

Once you're done, please ask your friends to sign the petition as well. Grassroots movements succeed because people like you are willing to spread the word!

Peter

Could you include Masterfile in your petition as well?  I will gladly sign it if so.

I will sign it as well. But if you are making a change to include Masterfile, can you also change it from first-person singular (I, me) to first-person plural (we, us, or "the undersigned"). I bet you'd get more signatures if you used a petition service that just asked for name and email. Some people are (understandably) shy about revealing their identity. I'm not, but some are.
Although I may be a super-genius, I am not a lawyer. So take my scribblings for what they are worth and get a real lawyer for real legal advice. But if you want media and design advice, please visit Motion City at http://motioncity.com.

Good point mcfilms. If the traffic on this site is any indication, you should get to 100 signatures quickly.

I think  this is a great idea, hopefully the Op will return with an update, or perhaps someone will draft a new petition..Between the users here and blasted it across FB and a couple of other outlets it would well exceed 100 in no time.
Most questions have already been addressed in the forums, get yourself educated before making decisions.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.

(As Ocsar mentioned) the link is blown/has been removed.
