SG,
Thanks for the info. I'll look into it further when I prepare my response to Getty. From everything I've read here and elsewhere, they are still likely to demand some sort of payment. I'm curious, has anyone here kept stats on settlements, amounts, etc? I'm only being extorted for 1 image, so I wonder how aggressive they may get as well. Once I send them my response and get theirs, I'll post the results.

Greg

SG,
Thanks for your response. The image did appear on my site, but was not stored on my server. It was stored on the company hosting the affiliate program. I went ahead and removed the image, but saved the source code. It clearly shows the image comes from another domain.

The image they are claiming infringement on is actually a banner ad link from an affiliate program. The image is not even hosted on my site. Can I till be liable for this? What is the best way to fight this. They are asking for $965.00, which I have no intention of paying. Also, what should I do about the banner? Is it best to remove it immediately, or leave it up? Any ideas would be appreciated.
