I've received 2 Getty and 2 followup McCormacks in about the last yearwhich I've completely ignored. Anyone have an approximate idea how long it might take if they decided to file suit, or delay tactics that can be used to keep kicking this can down the three year road?
I realize no one may know the answer, but any educated guesses would be welcome.

They have 3 years from the date of your first letter to file a suit. Since you have not shared the details of your case I don't think anyone can answer your question without more info (how many images, where did it come from, what was it of, how was it used etc.) other than to say if you are like most you have a better chance of getting hit by lightning than Getty suing you.
Provide more info and I can give a better opinion.

Thanx Greg- Have a home business, w/e-newsletter. 3 images were involved, which were quickly removed. They originally wanted 1200- but now w/McCormack they're up to 2200. Our newsletter goes out weekly and is content driven- the image likely had zero effect on sales. I also live in Florida.

Thanks, that helps a bit, where did they come from and how were they used? (in ads, as part of a story etc.)
