Getty Images Letter Forum / Can forums and social network type sites also be successfully sued?

« on: October 15, 2012, 07:29:10 PM »

Curious if Getty image type infringement lawsuits also apply to open forums. I have forums with 25,000 users and I couldn't realistically moderate what each one does. People are constantly changing their forum avatars, signatures, etc... It would be close to impossible to moderate each post. Similarly, would a social network type site like Facebook be open to such a lawsuit. Millions of images are posted there each day.

Can someone please explain?

Thanks!
