[Fmpro] Getty QQQQQQ's

[LesHurdle]

Did PA ask any of the composers if they wanted to be 'sold'?
Did PA ask if copyright 'usage' could be traded?
Did you assign your product/copyright to Getty... NO, then go get  
money from them !!

You good folks were sold out and you did not have one leg to stand on  
even though you owned the product...... wow, PA wins.
