Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Thank you ELI for the resources re: Getty Images Demand Letters

I'm new to this forum and website so I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. Since getting my letter from GI late last month I've been reading every forum, blog, website, etc., trying to find the information I need to have in order to make an informed decision on whether to ignore them, reply to them with a compromise offer, tell them to take a flying leap, etc. I've read tons of commentary and lots of opinions but very little in factual information. For instance:
.how many people have GI taken to court (I can only find information on one instance)
.how many cases have GI won/lost
.how successful is Oscar's letter at calling off their hounds (I'm not looking for the content of Oscar's letter - just how successful it's been)
.is their web-crawling software legal, especially with respect to invading my ISP's server
All/most of this information should be available and it should just be a matter of just initiating a search and compile exercise. If this hasn't been done because of lack of resources and/or funding I'd be prepared to step up to the plate - anything to stop these people. Rgds
