The only difference now is that some of the images may be for sale through Getty which would beg the question, well if it's good enough for Flickr/Getty, it should be good enough for me. Personally I'd like to see a field per photo so that I could provide a link for each photo and a 'buy' link would appear in a low key way (like the print button). It would be much tidier than people putting their own links in and heaven-forbid - banners.
