  Not to condone, but I think what Getty is doing is charging to recoup their hi-res scan costs. The New York Public Library initially also charged for digitization, but recently released their massive public domain libraries.

  Won't hold my breath waiting for Getty to do the same.

  Hmm, look at the licensed Haulin Oats names (as Barbara Waxer)

  on Hall & Oates Suing Breakfast Company Over Haulin' Oats Granola... And For A Pretty Good Reason
  The company that sells the oatmeal with the licensed name has these gems on their products: My Cherry Amour, Scarborough Pear, and...Gettin Figgy Wit It. Now you know Will Smith ain't playin'. Who knows about Stevie Wonder and Simon or Garfunkle
