Jupiters_moons_2Jupiter Media surprised nobody by purchasing PictureArts, another stock licensing company for 63.2 million in cash. This purchase is no doubt part of the effort to catch up to the stock licensing industry leaders Getty Images and Corbis. PictureArts brings along the Botanica, Brand X, Nonstock, iBid, and Foodpix brands. Jupiter Images is now even more established as one of the premiere companies offering commercial images.  One has to wonder whether Jupiter will start looking at any of the Editorial wire services at some point. For right now that is one area where Jupiter cannot compete with the Big Dogs (Getty and Corbis).
