Here is an update as to the latest in my letter writing campaign. I have heard back this week from the Ohio State Attorney Gen.'s office who declined to look at my information as they thought I was asking them to act as my Attorney. I am sending them a reply letting them know that that is not my intent and asking them to please look at the information and consider investigating Getty Images.

Just a note for those of you who are considering or have started their own letter writing campaign this type of response is not uncommon in should not be considered a setback. Any time I get a letter like this I will immediately send out a follow-up letter thanking them and asking them to reconsider.

For those that are interested I am providing links to the letter I received from the AG's office as well as my response.

Thank you Oscar, my goal is to show people that you don't have to sit there and take it as there are plenty of things you can do to fight back in the letter writing campaign is one. While I agree with you that the AG will most likely close the case my complaint will make at least number 58 and at some point we will reach a tipping point where they will investigate. The more people I can get on board and the more letters that go out the sooner this will happen.

Nicely done Greg.  Even if the AG closes the case its worth making Getty go on record and have to address these complaints in writing.

Good post and very interesting reading the comments.

@Moe

That is a good find, I had not heard about that lawsuit.  We'll have to keep an eye on that one.

This almost seems like these trolls woke up in the morning and said to themselves what can I do today to screw my career for the rest of my life. What a bunch of asshats.

Here's the same article is covered by fightcopyrighttrolls.com.

This was not about trolls but I still consider this a victory!

Quote
The Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (S 3414) Defeated in Senate Vote this Morning
 
This morning, the US Senate defeated the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, a bill that would have given companies new rights to monitor our private communications and pass that data to the government. The bill sponsors were 8 votes short of the 60 votes necessary to end debate on the bill (vote breakdown here). This is a victory for Internet freedom advocates everywhere. Hundreds of thousands of individuals emailed, tweeted, called, and sent Facebook messages to Senators asking them to defend privacy in the cybersecurity debate. Those voices were heard loud and clear in the halls of Congress today. EFF extends our heartfelt thanks to everyone who fought with us on this issue.
 
We can all be proud today that there was no law enacted on our watch that would have compromised the online privacy rights of Internet users in the name of cybersecurity.

Yeah it really sucks when the non-legal types can rip apart your contracts let alone what the legal types do to them.  I wish Getty v Advernet could have played out to end.  Just saying.  ;)

In addition to what Greg said, they don't want us "non-legal" types to rip apart their agreement, nor do they want ELI linking to it, thus using their bandwidth, altho this seems fine for picscout to steal our bandwidth...

I can visualize Lisa Wilmer sitting at her desk for yet another day, then going home to whomever..

whomever: how was you day dear?
Lisa: oh just another day in the trenches, sending out extortion letters and dealing with those thorns in my side at ELI. They just won't seem to go away..
 




Much Getty butthurt detected.
I don't see what the point is of taking it down.
But, whatever makes them feel better.

Great job! Sometimes even Getty can see the writing on the wall. Unfortunately your letter is the exception rather than the norm. Thanks for sharing your story and I hope you will stick around and participate in the forums.

I'll bite, their BS complaint response form letter states that they cannot provide the complainant with proof due to confidentiality agreements between Getty and the artist but the user agreement says that they can provide confidential information when necessary to uphold the contract which lucia called them out on. At least that's the way I interpret the way that paragraph reads. Trying to settle a case quickly could be done by providing this information but it just shows that Getty isn't really interested in protecting their artist's rights as they are in trying to grab money they are not entitled to.

Funny when I was writing my reply to Getty's response to the BBB complaint I filed I was going to reference and quote their own contributor agreement but for some reason you only get this now.



Has the original made it to Scribd for viewing and reference?

Funny how lil ol' ELI can embarrass and make big ol' global Getty and make them hide stuff when you call them out on it.

Thanks Robert!

Everyone will get replies and follow-up letters.  I think all future complaint letters when round 2 starts up should end with:

"....and at this time Getty has not provided any valid proof of their claim....."

Well Getty responded today to my complaint filed with the Washington State Better Business Bureau. It was there typical form letter BS that they use when replying to any agency forwarding a complaint to them. It ended with the usual paragraph stating that Mr. Troy did not provide a valid defense yada yada yada, but I was able to catch them and call them out on some glaring omissions and out right lies that when put back in make my defense more than valid. Below you can find the original complaint letter, Getty's response and my reply to their response.

I also love the fact that they got my company name wrong it is Yeah We Do That not Yeah We Can Do That. They also got the amount they are asking for wrong they put in they want $8750 whereas their claim is for $875. Douglas Bieker in Getty Images are asshats and morons.

All of the documentation including the original letter, Getty's response and my reply to their response may be found here:

Great post Moe! There's a lot of good information contained in it and I have skimmed through it but plan to go back over it in depth this weekend.
