Re: jgulinosports Getty Photos
In speaking with a player's agent yesterday, I was told that Jay was purchasing original photos from another source (Steve ?) who had access to the Getty Images photos. From these originals, new negatives were being shot, allowing him to then reproduce photos at will from these 2nd-generation negatives (which explains the slight cropping and quality issues). Getty got word of "Steve's" activities, filing suit and essentially shutting down Jay's source.
Whether or not this is taken as gospel is up to the reader, however, this info came to me by what I consider a reliable source.
Regards,
