Getty Images, one of the world’s largest stock photography companies, announced yesterday that it will offer 35 million of its stock photos for free for editorial, non-commercial online use in an effort to thwart copyright infringement. Starting March 6, Getty Images will distribute its images via a new embedding feature. Non-commercial Internet users will be able to select an image from the Getty Images library and copy an embed HTML code to use that image on websites, blogs, and other social media platforms for editorial, non-commercial use. The embedded player will include copyright information regarding the image and a link back to licensing information on Getty Images’ website. Images will be available from Getty Images’ various collections, including stock photography, news, entertainment, and sports.
