I imagine it will encourage a lot of infringements as end users who have comped up images or need to relicense images find there is not only no one representing the images but no one to point them to the contributor.

I personnaly have been contacted by Getty for migration . I cannot understand that VCG buys Corbis (it has been said $100 M) and that Getty in full benefits from this deal . VCH has bought Corbis just to licence in China the images that Getty has not selected ? Very weird indeed ....
