Image Protect Inc (IMTL)

And to follow up my previous post, Pixsy is being offered for free via Flickr which either means Flickr is paying some sort of license fee and/or Pixsy is simply offering their tech to the company in hopes that it will generate additional lawsuit revenue (both models are limited with respect to how much revenue they can really generate).

Let's not forget how closely connected Matt Goldman is with some of the behemoths in this space (Getty's Images, Corbis, etc.). Getty's has already stated they want to pivot to a free, ad-revenue based model. Additionally, Getty's currently does not offer the ability to monitor photos the way Image Protect does. In my mind that makes IMTL a perfect acquisition target and/or partner. Now, I think IMTL could fare better by launching on their own, but in terms of a fallback position, it doesn't hurt knowing that the company you are invested in is worth more to a strategic partner than what it is currently trading at now.
