thanks for the reply S.G.  I will have to check that out, not sure if the screenshot was taken directly from the affiliate program and hosted by us or through an ad network..if the image was hosted on our page, then what do you suggest?

Getty Images Letter Forum / Letter from Getty on a screenshot

« on: July 02, 2012, 03:28:20 PM »

Hello All:
this is a cool board..Ive been in the internet biz for 12 years now and it saddens me to see all these copyright trolls wasting our time and money..this website is a great idea.....Anyways, I just received a getty image demand letter..basically, they want to bang me for possibly using an one of their images.  However, my page at the time (which was changed months ago), was a landing page promoting various dating sites.  I was using linking codes that would pay me as an affiliate if and when someone joined the dating sites that i promoted. The page had a screenshot of each specific dating site's front page on the left side and description of the site and the benefits to  joining the site, costs, ect...Well, one of the dating site's front page that I screencapped must have had a getty image licensed to them and now getty has their hands out asking for 1K for the use of this pic .
I would really appreciate any support in making this go away... 
Best regards,
