I just got a message stating that they are "willing to waive settlement for this case". I am very happy that they looked at my case open minded and made the right decision.

I can only hope that I might have a case as Getty has put this case on hold 3 times so far...not sure if they would do that unless they thought I might be able to win some how??? Who knows. My point to them is...I provided them with as much info about the person who provided the banner as I could...I told them they shoudl be going after them not me. Fingers are crossed.

But I sent getty the information right from this companies website explaining exactly what I should do to put it on my website. Actually here it is - http://web.archive.org/web/20060204033003/http://www.topweddinglinks.com/Listing/reciprocallinks.html if you scroll down, the image in question is - http://web.archive.org/web/20060204033003/http://www.topweddinglinks.com/images/$twl00.gif which is still live on their site by teh way.

I guess it just seems odd. Most of these cases that I have read all used images to publicize themselves. This was a banner exchange. The banner on my site had the other companies logo right on it. So if you are correct, let's say I made an ad that had a copyrighted image and paid to have that ad advertised in the new york times. Getty could sue the new york times? I didn't, but figured I would ask in a different way.

I did a banner exchange with a company. I was showcasing their banner in return for my company to be in their directory. Well, getty found an image on their banner on my site...well they say because it was on my site, I owe $1000 but would reduce to $650. I feel this is unique because I am in no way shape or form trying to publicize this as my image. The other companies name is right on the banner! Any thoughts?
