Getty Images Letter Forum / Notification of Case Escalation
« on: May 02, 2012, 01:09:12 AM »
Here is my story...
I am not at all a web page designer, I just have very basic skills.
I set up a 4 page static site for my brothers LLC a while back. He has a one-man LLC and needed something on the net. The site was based on the usual "Free Template". Earlier this year he received a letter from GI, but ignored it thinking it was a scam. Then this week he received the "Notification of Case Escalation" and I started researching GI. They are asking for $1225 for an image used in the background.
Now here is the questionable part:
1) The image is "Highly" modified. Only about 20% looks similar.
2) The address is only similar to the registered name of the LLC
3) The site is actually registered in my name.
Does any of this have an affect?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
