Hi,
I'm a newbie on the site. I received a demand letter from Getty regarding a picture on a website I no longer used. I ended up responding via email to the letter offering $100. However, they then referred me to a calculator that they use and said to use that and give us another number.
Honestly, I think this is a bunch of bull and don't want to pay them a dime. What should I do? If I do pay, I'm assuming I will get something in writing preventing future claims. Has anyone posted a copy of this?
Thanks.

read forum. get educated. They now know they have a "live one" since you emailed them..I would put a stop to that immediately, what they would charge and what the image is worth are 2 different things..thats why they sell hardly any images anymore...who the hell would pay 800.00 for a picture odf a friggin cactus?

I haven't been here too long but the calculator bit is new to me. Would you mind sharing the link with us so we can see how they think?

I am also very interested in this calculator, unless you are referring to the "View Licensing Options" button next to the images that gives you the "Retail" price of the image.

I think this is what the op is referring to....

Underneath every Getty Image is a calculator icon that allows you to see what Getty would charge you for the image depending on the resolution and intended use plus length of use.
