The error message that I got indicated "access prohibited" with the indication that the site had looked for a login (cookie) - which might be a cookie from almost anywhere. The site appears to be one of the "server sites" where pictures loaded to other places actually live - called as need by links on the "real" home site:

It's a "beta" site by Getty Images. Lots of news media use lots of Getty images. Anyone with a login on a site having a contract with Getty to link to their stuff probably gets in, and those who don't may get bounced on a link. A login with a Reuters/New York Times/AP or other network newsrag might be sufficient, even if you've just got an old stale cookie.

You can go directly to the site and browse, but I didn't see much I was interested in. (Its onsite search engine didn't find the image linked by its file name.) Images someone has contracted to use may be sequestered to limit access to people who come from the buyer site.

(You guys and gals do look to see where a link goes before you click, don't you?)
