Masterfile and Template Monster

[Rex Humston]

Just recieved notice of issue from Masterfile.  Purchased template from Template Monster.  They still sell the same template.  Has anyone had experience with TM and Masterfile issue.  Will TM help with this?  Does Masterfile recognize the use of TM templates?  Site was old and not really critical so I have removed entire site. Site used two images from template.  I have sent an email to TM compliance officer. Sent email to Oscar.

Thanks,
Rex

I just received one too! Go to Getty's topic and you will see people saying the same thing both Getty and Masterfile.

TM had some very serious troubles in the recent past in regard to unlicensed images - 2006 -2007.  They (and allegedly related sites/companies) had a huge run-in with Corbis.  The whole thing seemed rather shady.  I won't repeat it here, but interested parties can Google it.  Hopefully, things have changed and TM will support these people above.  Given past history, and these recent incidents, TM might be something to avoid.

TM also settled with Getty in some states.  For example, I think the Idaho Attorney General got on Getty's case for continuing to send out demand letters on cases TM had accepted as their responsibility.  Will follow up with more info.
