When I suggested calling your agent, I made the erroneous assumption that if he didn't have a rider you would have the foresight to ask your agent if he/she could recommend a cyber liability agent. If your agent for all your previous business ventures (this one being your latest) doesn't know of a cyber liability insurance broker, surely he has the contacts to point you in the right direction.

I've been on this site for about a year, and I read everything everyone posts and ever has posted, and I have no recollection of anyone on ELI ever recommending a broker/source for cyber liability insurance.

So I think you're phishing in a dry lake... but if my recollection is wrong you can be sure one of the ELI regulars will correct me since we're all here to help others.

With that said, if you don't like this post, take a few minutes off from creating all of those wedding directory sites that will no doubt add so much value to the Internet and go eat a big enchilada dinner with plenty of green salsa at your local Tex-Mex joint so later this evening you can let out a great big hot fart.

If you're running a start-up as potentially large as the one you describe, you surely already have insurance of some sort with a person you trust. Give that agent a call and see if they have an appropriate rider for your current business policy.

My opinion of insurance companies is almost as low as my opinion of copyright trolling attorney Timothy B. McCormack and his condescending paralegal Ashanti A. Taylor of Seattle Washington.

Insurance companies love you while you're sending them checks every month, but the relationship sure goes south the first time you have a claim. Then they point out the small print that shows your claim is an exception and you are shit out of luck.

Well, hell, I feel really honored because my case went directly from Getty to copyright trolling attorney Timothy B. McCormack and his condescending paralegal Ashanti A. Taylor.

I guess NCS will be next in line to start sending me letters. Oscar mentioned somewhere recently that the extortion machine/scheme typically sends out anywhere from six to twelve letters during the three year period. I think I'm at seven or eight now.

I will of course respond to the initial letter from NCS, should I get one, letting them know that they have no standing to ever contact me again.

As John McEnroe used to say, "What a racket!"

Sbritton, did you go through a round of letters from the copyright trolling lawyer Timothy B. McCormack of Seattle WA before you heard from NCS?

Or has you case gone from Getty Images to NCS without Timothy B. McCormack and/or his copyright troll paralegal Ashanti A. Taylor?

YEP! I however am saving them for souvenirs or perhaps to help Mulligan along with his Expose!
 

Oh my God, Peeved, tell me you're not saving paper for me because the file of evidence and correspondence and commentaries and unsent letters and nasty satires I've written for my expose is already more than an inch thick!

A book and movie may well be in the offing here:

"Mulligan's Guide on How to Spend Your First Three Retirement Years Messing with Copyright Trolls or How I Learned to Turn Stress and Anger into Sweet Payback and Legal Retaliation Against Digital Evil Doers Who Would Suck Money Out of Innocent Mom and Pop Webmasters!"

Starring Christopher Walken as Mulligan
With Johnny Reid "John" Edwards as McCormack

Great tease, April. If I had a radio station, you'd be hearing from me with an interview request.

I've added Nancy's second paragraph to the piece I'm working on. It jives very nicely with the comments from Getty's CEO, Robert Klein. This people are doing a wonderful job of digging their own graves.

+1 to what Robert and Jerry posted.

Moelle, the odds are not in your favor that they're going to keep coming down.

Instead, they'll most likely reject your offer and then warn you that they're about to "escalate."

At that point, Getty will turn the matter over to some copyright trolling attorney who will then probably demand about three times as much as the original demand.

Trying to reason or negotiate in good faith with these ass clowns is similar to trying to stick a sharp toothpick in a pissed off yellow jacket coming right at you. It just ain't gonna happen.

why make it easier on them to extract your money? let them purchase paper and stamps and go thru the motions, why make it easier on them? I would promptly cut off any telephone, email communications..

Plus 1 and 100% agreement. Make the bastards put everything in writing and on paper and mailed to you via good old snailmail.

Consequently, Getty Images does not require contributors to provide Getty Images with certificates of registration and leaves the option of copyright registration to the individual photographer. Due to confidentiality concerns, Getty Images does not provide copies of our contributor contracts or copyright registration at this time.

In other words, we have no legal standing to demand a dime from you, but we're going to count on you not understanding that. So send that check for the reduced settlement demand right now.

I've been sending deadlines with my letters from Day One, and to date the rotten bastards have ignored and/or missed all my deadlines.

Of course I've ignored and missed every single one of their deadlines, too.
