Mods - Hotlinking Getty images

[uvarvu]

Getty now allow hotlinking from their image database.

You can use this link to search for the images you want and then get the URL to the image.
Will we be allowed to use Getty images here? Forum use appears to be sanctioned in their TOC.

I searched dog with banana because why wouldn't you. Surprisingly, 41 results.

So we end up advertising people's pictures. Don't you also have to embed using their code:

Embedded Viewer

Where enabled, you may embed Getty Images Content on a website, blog or social media platform using the embedded viewer (the “Embedded Viewer”). Not all Getty Images Content will be available for embedded use, and availability may change without notice. Getty Images reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove Getty Images Content from the Embedded Viewer. Upon request, you agree to take prompt action to stop using the Embedded Viewer and/or Getty Images Content. You may only use embedded Getty Images Content for editorial purposes (meaning relating to events that are newsworthy or of public interest). Embedded Getty Images Content may not be used: (a) for any commercial purpose (for example, in advertising, promotions or merchandising) or to suggest endorsement or sponsorship; (b) in violation of any stated restriction; (c) in a defamatory, pornographic or otherwise unlawful manner; or (d) outside of the context of the Embedded Viewer.

Getty Images (or third parties acting on its behalf) may collect data related to use of the Embedded Viewer and embedded Getty Images Content, and reserves the right to place advertisements in the Embedded Viewer or otherwise monetise its use without any compensation to you.

The replacing image with an ad may be the sticking point. Can you imagine Getty advertising a competitor here?

The attribution overlay is pretty annoying.

 

[Lysander]

Hotlinking but you get that stupid text overlay? No thanks. Just save it and upload to the image sharing service of your choice.

Right click > upload to Imgur. Simples.

Everyone should have this extension.

Why would you need to link directly to a stock image here anyway?

Good reason for me to get round to uploading the rest of the requested photos to the database then!

Flickr uses normal BBcode and you can tweak it around as much as you like. Not quite the same.

Is there one for Photobucket? I'm on IE and Chrome

Only if you were looking for a break...

Search the Chrome App Store. If there is it will be in there. I use ReHost Image for Firefox where you can add a bunch of sources and once uploaded it copies the URL automagically into the clipboard ready to paste. I do the pasting with BBCodeXtra extension as well, has many tags and custom add ones (youtube/spoiler tags and so on).

Nobody should use Photobucket anyway, it's cack.
