Is this worth signing or is it just a place to blow off steam?

Getty Images Letter Forum / Gratitude And A Few Questions

« on: August 03, 2015, 12:28:48 PM »

First off, I want to than everyone for the information from this great forum! It helped me shift out of paranoid and fear mode into pro-action  after receiving Getty's fist demand letter. I sent off a response with the guidelines of this forum, to negotiate a reasonable amount to pay for my inadvertent posting of a single photo on our web site. I also include a sentence saying that we will only accept written forms of communication and will not discuss this matter using email or by telephone

My questions are as follows:

Now that I have received and responded to their initial letter, I read on this forum that they will send about 11 more out to me. Do I just reiterate my initial response to their first demand letter as these other letters keep pouring in?

Does it even make sense to respond at all?

We have another site that we used a template for, that we purchased in 2004 (I have an email receipt). Are those images safe from the 3 year statute of limitations since the site has been up since then?

Can these trolling turds (sorry for the colorful language) also come after videos that use stock images in a slideshow that fade in and out?

Sorry for all the questions, but I am a newbie.

Thanks in advance
