Getty Images Letter Forum / Extortionist

I followed a link to this site out of curiosity. After reading a bunch of different posts, I've seen probably 19/20 admitted thiefs (1 person sounded legitimately accused incorrectly) upset at a company that apparently has a small army of people looking for illegal usage of their images that have been caught, received a letter saying, "you owe us royalties for the image you stole" who are now complaining that it's extortion.
It looks like the site was created by lawyers? Assuming you're all trying to fan the flames in order to reach some sort of class action lawsuit at the wording of their "extortion" letter you've received, when you got caught stealing their images?
Someone mind explaining? It's not extortion if you admit to having stolen the image they sell...
