Flickr Photos Become Stock Photography at Getty Images
"[…] Getty Images, the popular site for print and media stock photography buys, is hoping to make the search for, and purchase of, high quality Flickr images for commercial purposes less of hassle with the Flickr Collection — which made its debut last night. In the exclusive partnership that was initially announced last July, Getty Images editors handpicked photographs from Flickr’s community of 3 billion images and plans to refresh the collection with thousands of new ones each one month."
