Getty Images today announced the roll out of their music effort today.

This press release brought lots of congratulations to me. Why? This sparked me to read the press release. And of course the reason for the kudos goes back to the old saying that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." I dare say that whomever wrote the release dusted off several of my press release quotes over the previous 18-months in order to get their quotes just right!

We at Jupitermedia congratulate Getty Images for seeing the light and following our lead with music (and earlier following us into subscription and microstock). I am pretty sure that our industry and the trade press will see more and more verification in coming months that Jupiterimages is now the company that sees the future way, way before Getty and others.
