Legal Question in Intellectual Property in New York
I am creating a website for a professional athlete and Getty Images has several photos of him that we would like to use on his fan website. What, if any, rights do we have to use them? Thank you.

None, unless you license them from Getty.

As a Franchise Attorney I agree with the other attorney answer. You need to contact the person or entity that holds the copyright to the pictures and get permission. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
