Getty Images Letter Forum / Thank you Matthew and Oscar
« on: November 18, 2008, 07:20:57 AM »
A great big thanks you for putting this form up. I too am a web designer who has done hundreds of websites and one (1) picture (for our own company website designed in 2002) had a pic where we can't locate the subcontractor to verify if a license was purchased. None of my clients have received a letter because I never stole pictures to use in websites.
I am now getting "collection calls" and although bothered by this - in a bizarre way I felt "good" about taking these guys myself with, wait for this ...no representation. I mean normally doing so would be stupid, but I kind of took the outrageous demands from Getty as personal. I want to get in front of a judge and destroy them.
I will probably send you $150 just to donate in your efforts to help others. Same for webmaster. You both should have an inconspicuous paypal donate button somewhere as I would happily pitch in. I would rather spend Getty demand money on you guys, or at least sending the money to a good hearted attorney. Be clear though, Getty will never get my money.
This extortion letter by getty (small g from now on) is causing great worry with some very good people. Thanks again to the site owner and the legal representative (Matthew Chan & Oscar Michelen) for being a light for justice for the small guy who needs it most.
