Some changes being made over at Getty Images. Not sure when this is going to take place as I went to their site to verify and their watermark is still on the photos.

Relevant terms that most news stories are conveniently leaving out:

'You may only use embedded Getty Images Content for editorial purposes (meaning relating to events that are newsworthy or of public interest). Embedded Getty Images Content may not be used: (a) for any commercial purpose (for example, in advertising, promotions or merchandising) or to suggest endorsement or sponsorship; (b) in violation of any stated restriction; (c) in a defamatory, pornographic or otherwise unlawful manner; or (d) outside of the context of the Embedded Viewer.'

Also, expect to see the embed system starting to display ads alongside the images in the not-too-distant future.

The embedding system is live for me already -- click on the button marked '</>' below an image, such as this one:
