Oscar - I forwarded the emails to you when I saw your post.  I then sent a follow up email to you as well as sent an email to Jeffrey.  I also called your office and nothing.

I'm starting to get a complex.

I have a similar issue in that I emailed payment and info about a month ago, but haven't received anything back.  I left a voicemail and sent a couple of emails, but haven't gotten a reply.  I'm not upset by any means, but I'd like to get a status update in case I'm contacted again.

How long does it usually take from the time payment is processed until you receive your defense letter?

Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Anyone had a run-in with Sanders Law PLLC? Fair use?

I got the same letter on behalf of BWP Media.  It seems Sanders sent out around 40 packets to various webmasters in the last month or so, demanding monetary compensation for copyrighted images.  The guy that runs BWP Media is Paul Harris, who came from Getty.

The issue with Sanders is that they've actually filed around 20 lawsuits in the past three months, so they don't seem to mind shelling out that $400 filing fee to get the webmaster's attention.  The questions I have are; has anyone sent them a letter or called them (as they request in their letter) to see what they're asking for?  If you called them, how did the conversation go? Has anyone had any luck getting them to drop the issue? 

And for the more professionally experienced, how should we respond?
