Did Getty sue and lose in Germany?
« on: November 18, 2008, 01:35:48 AM »
In German, but I think it describes a case Getty lost?  Is anyone's German good enough to summarize in English?

Also came across this German Forum ... similar to eli forum perhaps?:

Getty lost in German but because the user had previously purchased a license and proved that the use was authorized. While this is not directly applicable it again shows that Getty may not be keeping track of its licenses. It would be helpful to get the full article translated.
