I got this same EXACT letter received from a different (presumably young) troll working for Carolyn Wright. Same photographer, different image. Image also sold on his website, as well as Visuals Unlimited and Corbis.

Except they've increased their settlement price to $6,000 for a single image from $4,400 in the Leslie Burns letter.

Go to the phototake USA homepage and scroll to the bottom for the copyright boilerplate. It says "All rights reversed." I almost died laughing.

lol.  your right.  maybe you should write them and tell them they officially reversed their rights under copyright law thus giving you an implied license. :)
