There is a documented situation where Getty attempted to charge an artist for their own work (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22340178 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22340178). The only reason we know of that particular case is because they happened to charge the original creator. The dynamic is ripe for corruption. If Getty failed to report all the works they were collecting for, and instead siphoned money off on the side, how would anyone know?
