Getty are, incorrectly, claiming to hold a copyright  on the images.
That's illegal (fraudulent misrepresentation?).
The  National Archives could not transfer the copyright to Getty,
because it was  not theirs to transfer - under US copyright laws
just about anything done  with public/government funding must be
made freely available to the  public.

That's what I thought. So that selling was is in a  government archive is 
illegal. Because it is supposed to be free. Well, not sure  about that, but it 
sounds right. The copyright stuff has to be illegal.
