Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Got my letter need advice
« on: October 28, 2010, 03:11:15 PM »
As you can see from the numerous posts and discussions on this issue, there are several paths you can take in responding to this. If you have only a few images involved, the likelihood of being sued is minimal. My letter program assures that they can no longer contact you directly because once you are represented by counsel they have to go through counsel.

I would not ignore it as their demand letters will continue to pile up and they will then send it to NCS Recovery "a collection agency." (though they can't put you into actual collection) Our letter program responds to their letter and they can no longer contact you directly. If you are interested you can reach me at xxx

Getty has hardly ever sued in Canada and I don't think McCormack is licensed in Canada.  I have dealt with his firm on many files so if you are interested in having me respond to him email me at xxx

He emailed me and I advised him to contact 20/20 and give them my info as well

Matt I was unaware that he deleted our posts.  Do you think its worthwhile to ask him why or should we just leave it be?

846
Looks like he went with a small father and son IP firm. They seem very qualified in the field of IP, but they do not seem to be litigators.  I hope they got a good upfront retainer because they are about to be papered to death by Bernina's lawyers. Riddick may be a difficult client to control as well.  I see him as being someone who calls and emails constantly.

847
Major blow to Imageline. Its unusual for a firm as reputable and established as H & K to do something like this so quickly.  Normally, a firm won't make an initial appearance until the "conditions" are secure.  They will advise the court of their intentions to appear and ask for some time to finalize the conditions. If I were Bernina's counsel I would pounce on this and see if the whole thing was not a sham by Riddick to delay the matter. Not that he made the whole thing up of course, because obviously H & K did appear, but inquire as to whether Riddick scammed H &K somehow.  The issue could be addressed by the court privately, in camera, as the legal term goes, so any client confidences can be maintained. That way the judge can meet privately with H &K and Riddick to see if there ever was a realistic  ability by Riddick to meet these "conditions."  While it is a victory to have Imageline now scrambling for counsel, if they were my adversary I would definitely ask for more information and not just let this go.

848
Great Idea Matt.  We should do the same for the Muensch documents

Many of the folks that hire us for the letter program are web developers retaining us on behalf of their clients. Getty has the right to go after the end user so it is not uncommon for them to take this approach.  If you would like to retain us you can email me at xxx.

Dear Johnboy:

Thank you so much for your diligence in letting us know what was happening in your case.  Many folks from your country have contacted me and I direct them to this post to read about your experience so you have helped many people learn more about the situation in the Netherlands.   Thanks again, and no news is good news!

852
Thanks Matt for all your efforts on this page!

853
Recall that Riddick is still representing himself.  H & K are only representing the company.

I agree with you Lettered. Judge Preska's sticking to her original decision is great news

Technically (and all IP law is technical) if you make use of a copyrighted work or a derivative of a copyrighted work then you can be liable for infringement and damages. So even in your example, the car company, by using a derivative work of the brochure for its benefit, could be liable.
