The world's second largest stock photo firm, Corbis, will soon begin giving away free some of its high quality stock photographs to bloggers via a partnership with newly launched site PicApp. "We work with a partner so that those pictures are tracked, and if they're being used illegally, we can figure that out," said Corbis CEO Gary Shenk at the Reuters Media Summit on Tuesday, reports Reuters. "But as long as they are downloaded through this application, you're legit and you're ready to go."
Corbis has been making a major push this year to catch up to Getty Images, their chief competitor and the largest stock photography distributor. Getty is about three times as large as Corbis (in terms of revenue).
