To all the Grumblers

If all the grumblers had taken the time to read the description of this app, maybe their comments would have been different. Since the vast majority of the public doesn’t read descriptions like this—or directions in general—it’s no wonder that they make comments that are really off-base!!!! The app is FREE!! The description says that the pictures are yours to use and distribute. Sure, they have watermarks, but I don’t even know if the photographers get paid for Getty to use the photos on the stream, but as I know a coupkle of photographers whose images are handled by Getty, I will find out. The stream is intended for use by the general public, and definitely not by art directors or professionals. As for the software they have used for the gallery, if anyone were to take the time to look at the acknowledgements for the gallery, they would find out that the software is an open source program which can be downloaded by the public!!!

I hope people don’t think I’m being too harsh criticizing their comments, but this is Velveeta® not aged cheddar!!!!
