        No and it violates Getty's image policy, their images are only commercially available with signed release https://contributors.gettyimages.com/article_public.aspx?article_id=1834 …

        it feels like an endorsement w/out my permission or compensation. they did it without consulting me. the book competes with mine

        - I recall news of something similar, but before I'd lawyer up, I'd ask myself if it's first possible to turn this around.

        - e.g. in whatever promo material you use, consider using your image on their book as genuine endorsement of authoritative source

        - all the more reason to figure out how to use his cover against him, if st all possible. much easier than legal tussle.

        the suggestion of an endorsement might be actionable. Have you asked your publisher's legal department?

        depends on the location, situation. images taken by press in public are owned by them, I believe.
