Click on homepage and read the right bottom about Oscar helping resolve.  
Email him and go from there.

Good luck

I'm dealing right now.  Not sure what to do.

Most of the site say not to settle for they will show up with more demands.

Don't know if that could happen to you. There are several letter ideas on this site

Most of is were innocent.  We didnt know there was a copyright problem.  My grafics
were legitimate acquired.  I would have never allowed them to be used either.

They did send me an email with a lower amt.  It is still too much for nothing.

Good luck

Thank You

I've sent an email but as of yet haven't heard back.
Do you know how long it takes for a response?

I didn't understand I guess.  I didn't know we could use Oscar.  
Can you email the info?

WOW
I am so thankful for this site and others. I've know of Getty as credits at the end of Oprah, Leno and others. That's why I feared my letter.

I sent an email to the "LicenseCompliance" site on my letter explaining I am a homebased travel agent making $5000 a year and paid to have a website.  The company I used has dissolved and moved out of state.  I contacted them when I got the letter and she assured me that they would have used pictures from a company called "Constant Contact" which is used make a newsletter and website stuff.

The email I sent explained  that and I was sure Constant Contact was reputable.  They sent an email back stating they would reduce my amt from $1200 to $900. for 2 pictures..

While I was awaiting their above response, my daughter got on the web and found Oscar and other sites.

I am expected to pay by Jan. 27th.  I guess I should send another email stating that after investigation on my part I feel they are being unfair due to the lack copyright claims on the photo.  Also I will be seeking a copyright attorney in my area.

Any thoughts?
