Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Getty Images v. Walter Kowalczuk (Buying/selling images in private FB forums)
« on: November 06, 2017, 05:07:24 AM »
Here's an update. Everything that follows was found while Googling. No gossip, nothing private.
Larry Hebeler — acquired the passwords allowing access to Getty photos. Agreed to settle for $21.3 million, July 2017.
Walter A. Kowalczuk — bought the passwords from Hebeler, downloaded thousands of images from Getty, sold copies of the images to everyone. Agreed to settle for $14 million, February 2017.
Larry Barnes — downloaded Getty images. Settled for $25K.
Seven others settled for $15K each, for buying and selling Getty images.
Still yet to settle: Jaysen Moslehi (admin of Facebook group 'Autographs 101') and Jamie Blye, who bought images from Kowalczuk and resold them.
