I realize I'm replying to an old thread here. I'm sorry if that's unacceptable etiquette in these parts. I'm not familiar with this forum because I've never been in this type of situation before.
Anyway, I'm wondering what ever happened in the original poster's situation here. I see that this is from July so I thought maybe there had been some type of resolution.
I'm in a similar situation and I need advice. I posted my story at http://www.extortionletterinfo.com/forum/getty-images-letter-forum/need-an-opinion-on-a-letter-i-received/msg17058/#msg17058
Hello All,
Sorry for bumping such an old topic but it's relevant to my situation.
On the side I'm a film critic and run my own website. Last June I received a demand letter from Sanders in the mail claiming I used an image on my site that was copyrighted. I spoke with a co-worker who was a criminal defense attorney who told me it was a demand letter and not a lawsuit.
Initially when I received this, I reached out to a few colleagues who run very big and famous film websites and they were contacted by the same law firm claiming the same thing, but chalked it up to being a possible hoax and trying to extort money.
I didn't hear from them again.
On August 5th, 2014 I got an email from the same company claiming the same thing. Again I made sure it was just a demand letter and not a lawsuit, it's even signed by a paralegal and not an attorney, which I was told is a bit fishy as well.
What's the best course of action here? I've reached out to a handful of attorney's to seek advice.
Thanks for the time, I really appreciate it.
