What bothers me at the moment is that photographers can't opt-out. Since a lot of them are paid on a royalty basis, it appears they will be the ones really giving away their content. I am often asked by photographers if we offer their photos for free at CrowdMedia (http://crowdmedia.co http://crowdmedia.co), and the only valid answer for them is NO. Whatever people do, if they do it well and it is useful to others, eventually they should get rewarded for it. I like Getty's initiative for small non-commercial blogs, but I don't think photographers should be the ones paying for it.
