End of the day 2

Since Flickr's announcement about its linking up with Getty Images it appears they may be looking to stop photographers who offer professional services from linking to their own personal sites.

Pablo Vincente, like many others, includes a link to his own web site - Digital Pixels - alongside the images he posts. However he recently received an email from Flickr asking him to remove the link and stating that "...Flickr accounts are for personal use and if selling products/yourself through your photostream [it] could cause account termination."

It seems that as part of the deal with Getty to set up a collection of royalty free, rights ready and rights managed photographs they may be uncomfortable about others doing anything that could potentially reduce their revenue stream.
