As a MarCom professional I'm a big fan of Getty. There's no hassles. I can just purchase what is required. But I'm now an even bigger (and constantly amazed) fan of iStockPhoto where I can download items for $1, $3 or $5. Frankly, we are now paying semi-pro and amateur photographers too numerous too count on a monthly basis. Where before we would "steal" photos for concept mocks or proposals, we now pay for every mock and download by the dozens. Interesting shift afoot. I think the issues is around exposure.

Some of the newspaper folks are already mining flickr for stuff themselves. This past summer I had a picture I took during Mardi Gras end up in the Seattle Times, via flickr. One of their photographers offered me a stock photo fee and they credited me for it in print. Got a check from the paper after it ran. Why bother going through Getty?
