Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: I have 2 questions for everyone

Thanks to all that have given me some feed back to my post here. 

I for one thought, would they really push this all the way to court for 1 image?  It just seems hard to believe.  Yet, I guess they could hand all these little cases to a firm to handle for the commission of the collection amount.  People have worked for less I guess.

 So, in the end history has shown us Getty is banking on the letters being sent regular mail as there collection process.

I will share with everyone as things progress.

Thanks again,

Getty Images Letter Forum / I have 2 questions for everyone

« on: December 30, 2011, 02:06:54 PM »

Hello Fellow Getty Letter Receivers,

I am on my 3rd demand letter at $875.  Same situation here.  Built a site and made a point to not take any images off the internet that had a water mark or any sign of copy right issues.  So, much for that. 

I pulled the one pic from my site 1 day after receiving the letter.

I googled Getty Images and found out I was not alone.

Q #1 Is anyone just paying the demand amount?

Q #2 Has anyone in the USA actually been taken into court?

Thanks for building this site.  I have been doing alot of reading.  I see where people are saying "no" don't pay we are a united front.  So, figured I would ask those two simple questions.

Thanks and Happy New Year
