Title: I got a letter now what?
Post by: consernedcitizen on September 17, 2011, 12:50:53 PM
So I got a letter demanding around $900.00.  I called and they did agree to reduce it to around $650.00.  What happen was I downloaded a free website template from a forum that said they created the web template.  The company even put their logo on the site.  Now one of the images was apparently getty's.. 

Im not sure do I pay up being a smaller amount, ignore it, or higher a lawyer?    I had no clue it was their picture.  When I got the letter I thought i was being sued by a gas station.  I never even heard of them.
