Getty Images Letter Forum / Received extortion letter requesting $570 for erroneously posted private image
« on: March 10, 2017, 08:09:39 PM »
I've now received three emails (NOT hard copies!) of the letter I assume everyone here is referring to.
It is requesting I pay $570 for (mistakenly) posting one of their small images several years ago. It was live on my site for probably less than a year before I made it private as the service offering wasn't selling.
Anyways, I knew nothing about copyright stuff and my web designer may have been the one to post the image. I just don't know. They say I have 30 days to respond. (Then what??)
Are there good thread here that you could recommend I read? I admit I'm a bit overwhelmed by the amount of info here and not sure which Subject lines to click on.
Thanks for your help!
