From the Getty's point of view this is not happening. Any changes in your pricing would have happened last year. In some very small number of cases we knew that some adjustments had to be made to bring royalties in to line with royalties from similar institutions. At the bottom of this misinformation is some kind of poor communicadtion between your distributor and our pricing standard list. Please have your distributor contact me directly with your current and proposed pricing. Thank you and apologies for the confusion. This is clearly an error.

I'm curious to hear people's thoughts about this and what kind of work-arounds you might be thinking about.
