Getty Images Letter Forum / Getty Images Letter over photo of a bush

Hello, I received a letter over an image on my blog from a post about a medicinal herb.  Getty wants $700+ for the image.  My attorney said he thinks we should contact a copyright atty., his fees will be more than the $700.  Or, he said that I should make a counter offer, but not to pay anyone $700 just because someone sent a letter.

I did get an e-mail once over a cartoon that I posted stating that I hold either pay a licensing fee of $24 per month or take the cartoon off of the blog.  I replied to the atty. of the cartoonist that I would take it down.  This satisfied all parties concerned.  This seems to be an ethical way of handling these disputes as I wasn't aware of copyright law.  Getty Images (tm) doesn't play ball that way.

I am at home so I don't have access to the extortion letter right now.  I will posts it when I get to the office.

Thanks for the forum and all the free advice.
