If the original artist/content creators retain the copyright for their images, how does Getty have the legal ability to accuse someone of intellectual property theft when they (Getty) do not own the intellectual property themselves but rather have a non-exclusive license to use it themselves.

> DO I RETAIN COPYRIGHT OF MY WORK? >Absolutely. We license imagery to our customers on your behalf and you retain the copyright to all content that you submit to us. > You can register as an individual or a business as long as you are at least 18 years of age.
