Getty Images Letter Forum / Masterfile Canada, results of Oscars letters or individual efforts
« on: May 23, 2011, 05:14:16 PM »
Have received a letter for a single image infringement. Am in Canada and the artist is Canadian also. 2,100.00~ is the demand amount.
Having read this site, it's not clear to me what the results have been of retaining Oscar for 150.00 to draft a letter. I realize he isn't licensed to practice in Canada and provides the drafted letter to place on your own letter head. So I'm wondering, does this result in the issue going away at no further cost for a single image infringement scenario. Or does it simply set the groundwork for a settlement, and if so. What's the approximate amount.
What have been the end results of individuals contesting demands of single image infringements?
I've read all the other posts on this forum with relation to Canada. I have put together the site traffic, length of use, and innocent infringement documentation.
Thank you Matt and Oscar for your efforts.
