Yes, Getty sells RF and RM.  You can go to Getty Images 
http://www.gettyimages.com/  and click on any photo, bring up the 
calculator and fill in the usage to see what they would charge for 
similar usage.  Keep in mind that Getty gets 60%, though.  There is a 
group of photographers that is suing Getty because Getty switched 
their RM photos to RF without permission and entered them into the 
$49 unlimited use scheme.  Getty cares about photographers the way 
McDonalds cares about cows.  :-(   Stock photography is not good 
business to be in right now.
