gettyimages without subscription - Any problem?

QuietFortune · Jan 17, 2024

i have a new site that i am developing and right now its looking great - traffic and indexing wise. however, i fear that someday, i might have problem with gettyimage when i start making money with the site, as i am using their premium images on my site without subscription - using a third party downloader to download the images without watermarks. What do you guys think, should i remove the getty images right now when my post is still below 100 and find images without copyright or am i safe to go?

It's important to avoid using Getty Images without proper licensing on your website, even if your traffic and indexing are currently low. This is to avoid copyright infringement and reputational damage. For safe alternative purchase gettyimage license.

You will definitely be in trouble in the long run. If this is something you are working on for long term, then remove them as early as now.

Use Unsplash or Pexels. Similar quality images for free.

In the longer run, you will definitely receive copyright notices.

Just use midjourney instead and create AI images.

If your site get lots of visitor, they will sure find you later, it is better to avoid getty, Alternatively use pexel, pixabay.

Thank you guys, i thought the same thats why i needed to confirm. i will definitely check the resources mentioned. Also, is there any plugin that can help me change the already publshed images including the alt tags and img descriptions or can only be done manually?

A cheap alternative could be Canva, that includes tons of stock images as part of the subscription.

I think, Using Getty Images without a proper license poses a risk of legal issues. To prevent complications down the line, it's advisable to remove them now. Option for copyright-free images or subscribe to Getty for legitimate usage.
