So is it a good thing or a bad thing when you respond then they go quiet?

Getty Images Letter Forum / Newbie to the club

« on: April 26, 2012, 10:57:24 PM »

Hi we got a letter the other day. So we join your exclusive club. Two images that were used in a mock up and were exposed while testing and the site got scanned. Since it was in development both sections of that page and the images were removed long before we got the letter.

I have several questions but one in particular, what does it mean on their site when pricing an image "Exclusivity: No Exclusivity"? "Contact us for exclusivity."

I've been reading a lot here and watching the video's and reading case transcripts. Thanks to you all for providing this.

It sounds pretty much like the options are, take a risk and see if they take you to court and put up with debt collectors, or try to negotiate a reduction and let it be an expensive lesson, or litigate it and let it be a very expensive lesson.

Am I in the ball park?

I like everyone here scratch their heads and wonder how do they come up with nearly a $1000. for a low res tiny image? If only I could sell an image for a $1000.!

Being a writer, designer and photographer like many here I respect copyright and trademarks.

Geez a C&D letter would have been plenty and we could have responded, thanks that was a mock up page in development and had already been taken and the content changed.

Thanks...
