2nd Letter Received

[Elgie]

I received the standard letter from Getty Images in May and a second one just this week.  I've been keeping an eye on this site since I received the first letter.j

I'm wondering ... the image that was used on my site was actually an image where one of the Getty images was used as a background and someone photo shopped some other things into it - the image was and is still floating around the internet at a pretty good clip.  Of course, I had no idea that the background was a registered image.  Where I got the image there was a blurb that said that to their knowledge these images were not registered or copyrighted (the images are of people's pets).

So, can they still go after me even though this wasn't fully their image that I had on the site?  They're asking for $600, but I don't even have the $150 to hire Oscar .  It's pretty easy for me to prove the non-intentional thing here, and the site has been completely removed and I also went back to check on the archive sites to make sure it wasn't there.

Can you think of anything else I should do?  I've chosen not to even engage with them up to this point. 

Thank you for all you do!!!

They have 3 years from the date on your letter to file suit, which I do not think they will over one image and $600
