Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: settlement demand letter from Getty Image. What to do?

Thank you SoylentGreen for your quick reply. I am in the United States and ran the searches. None of those images sound like the images that were on my website. I also looked up the actual images that Getty have registered:

Here's a list just in case any body is curious:

Copyright #2
http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?contractUrl=2&language=en-US&family=creative&assetType=image&p=6442-001216

Copyright #3
http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?contractUrl=2&language=en-US&family=creative&assetType=image&p=6442-001232

Copyright #4
http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?contractUrl=2&language=en-US&family=creative&assetType=image&p=051106_Biking%20_075

Copyright #6
http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?contractUrl=2&language=en-US&family=creative&assetType=image&p=200022106-001

I was not able to figure out what images were copyrighted for #1 and #2.

Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: settlement demand letter from Getty Image. What to do?

Hi everyone... so... today I received an email from a website client back in 2006 saying exactly what everyone else here have already read.

Getty Images wants 3k for 5 images on the website. I have read that Getty does not copyright there images but is there a way for me to really check this? I have been referred to the copyright website but how would you search for an image?

I have read that most people choose to ignore these letters from Getty and others have resorted to using OM for help.

I really don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
