Watermarked images are supposed to be freely roaming around the internet sis :awkney:

They just want to promote to buy that picture 

the purpose of watermarked images is to get people to pay for the non-watermarked image. Same with tags throughout a song until you buy it, it is meant to be a deterrent

Yes, but you can still use it if the watermark's there. People have been using watermarked stock images for memes for years now. People only buy non-watermarked images if they will use it for commercial purposes.

most people have listened to music or watched movies illegally too, and don't have a networth of over $300 million :ally:

I think it's funny she posted it but shutterstock are right and the photographer should have been supported

Lol. I don’t read it that way. I see it as shutterstock just trying to get attention so they can drive a little traffic to their site. They’re having a little fun of their own.  Tweeting a watermarked preview image doesnt break any rules or laws and, no, the photographer can’t claim any damages  lol.  I do love them describing this photo as a “quality image” :ladyhaha:

Then ya readin it wrong sis

They're not right, people use these images to make memes that go viral and presumably cost them more money loss than her tweet like, they're just being shameless. They don't actually care about the artist and if you're honestly trying to argue as if it's anything but using gaga for whatever gain they can get from it through shade because that will make headlines then....throwing her under the bus because it's easy and people respond to it is just what people do.

if I were them I probably wouldn't have said anything, but surely it does make sense to go after a bigger person than a bunch of nobodies especially if it gets the message out there that it isn't right to use watermarked images. The actual photographer might be happy having a massive celebrity use their pics even if they didn't pay but it further enforces the idea that everyone is allowed to do it because celebs do it too. I have my work stolen and sold illegally online over and over and it feels horrible, it's only fair to support the creators.

In the dystopian Future Internet, we will all have to pay Getty Images $500 every time we make a meme :air:

Isnt that the whole point of using watermarked pics tho? You can use them freely as long as theyre watermarked right? If you want them without a watermark u can pay

The watermarks are there so that people know when you steal them without paying. It's illegal in the U.S. to use images without purchasing licensing. Nobody really gets in trouble for it though.
