Gettyimages for Unauthorized Use Notification
« on: April 28, 2012, 12:54:28 PM »
gettyimages sent a letter for Unauthorized Use Notification and a settlement demand of 875  US Dollars for one image used in the secondary page.

The site was developed by a third party offshore company which is no longer in business.

I removed the image from the web server and sent an email to consider the matter closed.

Please let me know what is the next step i need to do.

read the forums, get educated, Getty will be in touch shortly with the next step...
Most questions have already been addressed in the forums, get yourself educated before making decisions.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.

I'm a non-lawyer but not legally ignorant either. Under the 1st Amendment, I have the right to post facts & opinions using rhetorical hyperbole, colloquialisms, metaphors, parody, snark, or epithets. Under Section 230 of CDA, I'm only responsible for posts I write, not what others write.
