lol..

Although I would agree with you Mulligan that "That members of the fairer sex would find it hard to piss into the wind" in a literal sense, I tend to disagree speaking strictly metaphorically. In such cases we "fairer sex" types tend to do this quite frequently with regard to the opposite sex.

Hard, but not impossible.
Have to ask Linda Ellis about it.

I think you could have a very valid legal challenge of this claim if they pursue it. They might have accidentally made a slip which would expose a very questionable practice of theirs.

I think Getty may agree with you. I got a reply email on Aug 24th saying they consider the matter resolved.

This makes me wonder if I have grounds to pursue anything. All I would really want want is for a judge to take a look at their practices, for Getty to pay the legal fees and reimburse me for the time and effort wasted on this issue, and a written apology signed by the top brass of Getty.

Congrats on willing the battle, I was fairly confident they would "close" this case..Probably in your best interest to let it go at this point, unless you feel compelled to lodge a complaint with the Attorney General, after all they did waste your time, and one more complaint, makes us that much closer to someone actually taking a look at this issue. If you do decide to do this, I would also note in the complaint that Getty has since closed this case, but you would still like this to be noted in the public record.

Good Job, Dan. Thanks for providing us an update on your case. It obviously does pay to exercise some intelligence in these matters.

One has to wonder how many people paid big money to the Getty trolls for images that are public domain and free?
Interesting business model, for sure.
