It appears that the ensuing public blowback and my publicly fussing and posting several critical comments about the ingenuous lack of apologies or any retraction notifications (based on Eugene's report of Getty Images supposed public apology) seems to have found its way back to France.

Today, I received THREE separate form apology emails in a 20-minute time span from Vanessa Bouchara for three of my websites:

========================

Dear Sirs/Madam,

Whilst operating as Getty Images’ French legal advisor, we sent you a formal letter dated December 23th 2016, asking you to cease and desist perceived libelous activity on your site.

Please disregard our previous letter, it was sent in error and accept our sincerest apologies.

Yours sincerely,

Vanessa Bouchara


===============

I would like to find out from other people if they have received THEIR apology emails and compare the date and time stamps of when they received it.

I received the three form apology emails from Vanessa's office on January 11, 2017 at 9:54am, 10:06am, and 10:14am Eastern Time.

Ryan,

Thanks for sharing. I wasn't sure if apologies were going to certain people or everyone that received the letter.  So far, the people receiving it are the ones who have blogged about it.

What about the people who didn't challenge or blog about the French letters?
