Title: Getty Images Extortion Letter in China
Post by: extortionletterinfo on December 22, 2008, 11:01:31 PM

Can I publish the letter from Getty Images which I just received in China in Chinese? Companies in China should find this!

Sure, there is no reason you can't do so. The Getty program has reached Singapore and Hong Kong. ( I know because I have been in contact with several victims from those places) so China can't be far behind.

I understand Singapore and Hong Kong, but what their hopes are in China. The last I've heard China was still not a part of international copyright agreements, etc. (correct me if I'm wrong).

Their hopes are that people won't look into the law and just send a check!  Hey, wait, that's their hopes everywhere!

I see this strategy working very well in law-abiding countries but in China or Russia (where i'm originally from) they would lough in Getty's face. At least thy definitely can :-)
