Also, this appears to be down to a getty user called 'buyenlarge', who is listing all kinds of work they don't own.

For example:

This photo-

is actually this photo:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2178341487

PS: this same person appears to have about 500k listings for prints etc on amazon.com..... why aren't they a co-defendant?

Well the lawsuit names "John Does 1-100" as co-defendants so I would guess one of them.
Good catch!
