Getty Images Letter Forum / They don't know who I am?

« on: February 14, 2012, 09:02:14 PM »

So, as I said, I paid a guy to register my domain name, set up WP blog, and I made a few posts.  Never did anything with it, then after 9 months, got my letter.  Called the guy who registered and had the site on his server and told him to get rid of the site.  He did. 

Obviously, GI's letter was addressed to the legal department of XXX.  There never was a company. It was just going to be a blog about stress.  The website no longer exists, and my name doesn't look like it appears on the whois as a contact.  Can they really do anything to me?

Getty Images Letter Forum / I guess I screwed up

« on: February 13, 2012, 09:45:46 PM »

I started a blog.  My goal was to get into companies and do wellness lectures.  I wrote a blog post on stress and headaches. I google imaged "stress" and found a dog with an ice pack on his head.  I used it in my headache blog. 

I made about 3 posts on that blog and completely forgot about it.  I think the only thing that ever visited my site was the Getty robot.  I got my letter and immediately contacted the guy who set up my blog and took the whole site down.  It's gone.  There never was a company, just a health blog.

I got my third letter today and found this site.  I've watched 2 videos, and am starting to do my homework.  I was ignorant, but wrong.  I would have thought that not only getting rid of the picture, but the entire site would have been adequate. 

Thank you for this resource.  I'll continue to do my homework and figure out the best course of action.
