Getty Images Letter Forum / Letter Re Single Image RM Model Photo
« on: August 10, 2013, 12:39:37 PM »
Has anyone had experience with getting a Getty Images demand letter re one photo on your small business website that has people in it and states RM (rights managed) and model release image? The minimum cost to use it per their site is $480 even for only one month and not sure how long it has been on the website in question prior to removal ( removed immediately after the letter). The threat/demand was in the $800 range. The photo was a small image on the second page of the website shown one time. The business has nothing to do with reselling the image (it's a travel/tourism biz)
A google search did not reveal the image to be anywhere other than on the Getty site at this time.
What are the odds of them suing over this type of single image?
Would Oscar's letter alone without further costs be effective in preventing a lawsuit?
