Getty Images Letter Forum / Otto Photograph Copyright Infringment letter
« on: January 21, 2015, 07:42:34 PM »
Hi, I received a letter from a client today (it was actually the 2nd one they had received). It was from Otto Photograph claiming that we used on of their images on our clients blog. Anyway, the first letter said they wanted $528. 2 weeks later after no response they sent a 2nd letter saying they owed $636.
They have the reference id of the image and the blog post of where it was used.
I don't recall where the image was retrieved from but more than likely it was Google images.
I'm really freaking out here because of what other letters could be coming, etc. Don't know what to do. I Googled the address and it comes back as Getty Images and the phone # is the same as Pic Scout.
Any advice would be great as this is weighing heavy on me and doesn't look good with the client.
