They are sending me actual court cases that they have brought for both large and small companies. I thought they didn't take anyone to court?

It was never said they didn't anyone to court.. what has been stated is that they have filed few suits and most of those suits were in regards to multiple infringements ( 10-20 or more) As far as I know they have not filed suit for a one image infringment..
Have you researched these cases? I'm curious as to how far they went, or if they were settled out of court, ect.. I'm sure there would be public record of them somewhere..
It's also worth noting that just because they haven't filed many suits, this could change at any time.. As for Masterfile I think they do file suit, they are a completely different beast.

Who's "they"? Are you saying that Getty's sending examples of their litigations?
Keep in mind that even in the case of super-litigious MF, they file suits, but they give up on on four-fifths of those before they can be heard by a court.
Anyone can search for lawsuits brough by, or brought against Getty:

For the incredible number of letters that Getty sends to alleged infringers, there haven't been many actual lawsuits thus far.
