Thank you Robert, your reply helps a lot and confirms what I have read here and the video's I have watched.

The letter says the image is part of a compilation.

I like the option of not being contacted by these people any further  8)

Thank you Robert

Yes, we removed image (and from server).
Since John DeBoer is " just another trolling attorney working for an image troll" do I need the Letter Program?

It is not Getty Images, the photographer is Dennis Flaherty

Here is start of letter:
This law office represents Dennis Flaherty Photography, the owner and operator of DennisFlaherty.com, and photographer Dennis Flaherty (collectively hereinafter “Client”) with respect to various legal matters. My Client is the owner of exclusive intellectual property rights for numerous photographs and digital imagery, some of which are covered by U.S. Certificate of Registration #VA 1-775-800, all of which are subject to U.S. and international copyright protection. My Client has an obligation and responsibility to enforce these rights, and any act of infringement on those rights is a serious matter that must be resolved.

I have also received a letter from John M. DeBoer | Managing Attorney | DEBOER IP, PC

They want a check (Payable to: John M. DeBoer, Esq. – Client Trust Account).

They state the following:
Regardless of any intent or purpose, a finding of infringement is grounds for strict liability in the form of actual damages, including profits from wrongful uses of the images, or statutory damages of up to $30,000 per image, plus possible attorneys’ fees and costs of any related proceeding.

This is a single photo issue and the photo is available on dozens of sites (with a simple google - image search)

With your Defense Letter Program, do you handle this type of case?

Appreciate your site!
