For a while, Getty, the owner of the original image, was trying to collect royalties from sites posting the meme.
CatchyUsername123
To be fair, they did make the image and should be credited with their work
hawkesnightmare
Getty is a piece of shit in legal matters.
ScammyMcScammer
"it's the penguin that should be getting royalties" - PETA
kiathedead
In fairness he did own the image, however the use and chamge of the image would have been enough to warrent fair use. In the US anyways.
NoForethought
That's nothing, compuserve owned the patent on .gif format and tried to charge anyone that posted a .gif on the internet.
BilldeTurlock
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
TimothyTRiG
I think the patent wasn't on GIF itself, but on a compression algorithm used as part of GIF. Anyway, it's now expired.
MacDaddySmitt
That and a million other stock photos from a billion other sites
colonelrussia
Shitty Getty!
Noksus
On the other hand, from the perspective of the photographer, it's shitty that people use their photo for free and with no credit.

Getty won. Digital Week had to pay. Getty was managing the license of the penguin photo for George Mobley.
ColdestOne
Getty steals images. They have even attempted to sue a photographer for copyright infringement for using her own image.
inmat
I was wondering why there were so many candid images of celebrities on Getty.
Derragur
If they bought the rights for it it is no longer her image ( I dont know how getty works tho )
ColdestOne
They did not buy it in the instance I'm talking about.
whydotheycometometodie
You have to pay attention and know what you're paying for. Is it ownership, or is it permission.

The only royalties they'd get are fake internet points.

Cheomesh
Getty is fucking cancer anyways.
Steffn
Why?
Cheomesh
Garbage practices; they've jacked people's images, then sued the originator for using "their" stock image unauthorized.
Steffn
Did they jacked them or did someone other and used getty to make profit out of the stolen images?
Cheomesh
Guy takes photo. Guy shares photo. Getty takes photo. Getty sells photo as a Stock Image. Getty sues originator for using stock photo.

That's crazy, it's 2017, we don't pay people for their hard work anymore.

You might be happy to hear, the Monkey-selfie copyright dispute was won in favor of the photographer. PETA lost.
Tassyr
... Welp, I'm amazed. I mean... what made them think that woudl work?
chesirecats
The fact that it's their image and they don't want people stealing it??

What part of Copy Right do you not understand? I own the image, period. You bragging about how easy it is to steal, you're a thief at heart.

Oh, look, there's a car with wheel covers I'd like, just sitting there. Da fuq, I'll just go grab 'em. My images are my living.

I'm greedy to want to prevent the theft of my work? There's car wheel covers I'd like, just sitting there. Da fuq, I'll just go get 'em.

You have to make an effort to protect your copyright even if you know it's stupid. Otherwise there's a small chance you could lose it.
TimothyTRiG
That's true of trademarks, not copyright, as far as I know.
Zaayl
if your copyrighted image becomes a meme, you lost it. Its gone. The entire planet has appropriated it for better or worse.
adriedupoldprune
This is not true.
BilldeTurlock
Huh?? Stupid??!? What part of Copy Right do you not understand?

I guess they didn't Getty far with that one.
