Getty Images Letter Forum / New here, received the "famous" letter today!
« on: December 13, 2008, 03:02:27 PM »
First, thank God I am not the only one that is getting these letters.....Now I would like to explain my situation.
We are a small business, that recently startend celling a wireless service, on their advertising material and on their website is 1 image that we have used on our small company website, telling people about the wireless service that we provided selling.
We have not even used it for 3 months....today we got the Getty letter and we directly removed the image that Getty says is theirs.
Okay what to do from here, I mean, we were not aware that we could not use those images since we are reselling a product for this wireless company that is all over the US. Since we are reselling their service, would that mean I can not use their images then??
I'm confused, do I need to call Getty this monday and tell them and give them a check for a $100.00 or just keep it all shut and ignore the whole letter? Or if they come after me, tell them I am the reseller of this wireless company that is all over the US and I used their advertising materials for advertising that I am a re-seller for them???
Thanks for all the input in advance!
