Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Images from RSS - Getty images letter

It is true, if they look they would probably find more, but i don't have any way to know which ones.
From the letters they sent me I can't even find the pages that they found those 3 (screenshots they sent me are small and blurry and you can't see the exact URL they claim).
If I had to check every single image in RSS feed, might as well hire somebody to do copy and paste then

Getty Images Letter Forum / Images from RSS - Getty images letter

« on: January 12, 2012, 03:07:51 PM »

Hi
I have a site where I legally (with permission) take RSS news feed from another site and displays it. Images from RSS feed are pooled from source site (never copied to my servers). I have recently received Getty Images letter demanding settlement for 3 images they found on my site.
RSS news feed is updated automatically. I don't have any way to check every single news article.(it would be worthless as time consuming)
Do I break any copyright rules doing it this way?
On the other hand at the time when Getty images sent the letter my site was shot down already for a month due to other technical issues.
Do they really have a case against me?

Thank you very much in advance for the responses.

Mike
