Getty Images Letter Forum / Glen Carner's First 8 Questions for Matthew Chan
« on: May 31, 2012, 04:02:40 PM »
#1 - Have you ever seen an attorney letter that you felt was reasonable and appropriate? Can you provide a copy and who was the attorney?
#2 - Are there any attorney letters that don't get posted on the ELI website because you "approved" of them?
#3 - Under what circumstances do you feel an attorney should be used to settle a copyright claim for a photograph?
#4 - Do you make any distinction between a person downloading a song for personal use or a business using an image to make profits?
#5 - Do you have any suggestions on how "for profit" use can be compensated after the image is already being used if you disapprove of the current law and method?
#6 - I have heard you mention $200 for innocent infringement claims as a settlement amount. If a specific photographer agreed to only ask for this amount in the recovery, would you support that?
#7 - If you could change one small thing that about how agencies collect money retroactively for commercial use, what would it be?
#8 - Do you know of any agency, photographer, or author who is using a recovery method that you felt was acceptable and what was it?
My apologies if you had already posted some of this in the other threads.
