I hit my 3 years. Wooo hoo!
It would be nice if they told people they internally dropped things. :)

On the one hand: I knew they had no case against me. Hot linking-- among other things.  But there were other issues:  creator: original owner had died. That specific images was offered free for personal use on a site with her name on it-- run by someone whose name suggested they were an heir.  Names of companies etc seemed to change (last name .inc, personal name and so on.). So, any licensing paperwork might have been difficult for Getty to present in their favor with all sorts of potential slip-ups on who owned, who signed forms etc.   So, there really was no way Getty could win a case if they filed it.

On the other hand, there was no communication from them saying "Whoops. Our bad. You're right.

Congratulations Lucia!  I know they had no case against you but it is still nice to hit the 3 year mark.

Well, it's been 3 years now, I have never heard a peep out of Getty since the letter I received 3 years ago. I never replied to them. The only thing I did was not worry about it, and that worked for me.
