In the tradition of embeddable Tweets and video players, Getty Images has removed its image watermarks and made its stock photo collection free for non-commercial use.

The embeds will make it easier for the company to track how its photos are being used — potentially mitigating the illegal use of copyrighted images — and modify its embed capabilities for user data collection and advertising placement similar to Google’s YouTube model.

Copyright infringement has become a mainstay of bloggers and others without the working knowledge or financial means necessary to engage in legal and ethical sharing practices across the social Web.
