       > Getty Images, the world's largest photo agency, has made vast
       swathes of its library free to use, in an effort to combat
       piracy.
       >
       > Millions of images - including famous shots of Marilyn Monroe
       and Barack Obama - will now be available without cost to blogs
       and social media sites.
       >
       > The photos will be "framed" with a code that links back to
       Getty's website.
       >
       > Getty said it had made the move after realising thousands of
       its images were being used without attribution.
       >
       > "Our content was everywhere already," said Craig Peters, a
       business development executive at the Seattle-based company.
       >
       > "If you want to get a Getty image today, you can find it
       without a watermark very simply," he added.
       >
       > "The way you do that is you go to one of our customer sites
       and you right-click. Or you go to Google Image search or Bing
       Image Search and you get it there. And that's what's happening."
