Hi
In regard to me proving ownership
1, I can't deny the screnshot is (sorry was) my website.
2, It was bought through ebay (first mistake), but at least I have proof of purchase.
3, Disclaimer at bottom of website stated that all content was copyright of website.

So removing the obvious position i'm in re images, the rest of the site was mine.
That is of course unless someone writes telling me they have sole rights to the background colour and text font.
I'm sure the Getty machine have heard this angle of defence, but seeing as I haven't got the near £3k they are demanding, they might just hear it again.

Hi
 My first post on Getty issue.
I think this is a very interesting angle.
I received  screen shot in my correspondance. Has Getty got the authorisation to download and store what amounts to my property.
Do you think they'd accept a cost neutral settlement, if i ask for same amount in response .
Thanks
