As for the lawnmower analogy, it is non-sequitur because the government has mandated that everything that is intellectual property MUST have a copyright notice attached in order for someone to sue for violation of copyright. When you receive a cease and desist letter you MUST comply OR the fees they ask for can and will be charged to you. If you DO comply, they CANNOT demand payment. I have been dealing with these extortionist clowns since 1998 and you CAN cause them a great deal of problems like countersuing them for extortion. Getty Images are predators and they should be shut down for blackmailing people who use images without the mandatory copyright notice attached. Don't let them fool you!
