I have just located another company overseas that sells the same image in question in my demand letter. They have their company name watermarked over the image and the file description lists the original copyright owner (Getty) followed by a slash and their name. Doing a google search for this company shows that they have a licensing agreement with them dating back 5 years ago.
My question is - how does this work with copyright claims? If Getty is claiming exclusive copyright to the photo (letter states ...image represented exclusively by our company) then how does that work with another company they have an arrangement with to sell the photo under the copyright of that company.
Seems like there is a conflict of copyright.
