Getty Images Letter Forum / Getty Letter but Image was retrieved from Public agency Website
« on: April 29, 2014, 06:15:13 PM »
After reading several post and seeing a slew of responses I felt that there may be a small twist of my story than some of the others. We had on our website an image I obtained from a federal public web site that I used for a flyer/PDF that we had on our site for folks to download. Our site hardly gets traffic and the company is almost non-existent (we seldom do work from it).
Anyways, we just received the letter today, I immediately went to the website, removed all traces of the image since i did not want to be in further violation (if I was at all!). We are a small family and the Getty demand cost is around $950 which is too much for us to afford now. the site the image is on is the US Fish and Wildlife services website.
Thoughts on the circumstance?
