Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Typo in URL

I'm going to reply just as mcfilms and buddhapi have suggested. I'll let you know how it turns out.  The ELI site and forums have done a lot to give me perspective, and recover from the initial shock of the letter from Getty. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your response Lucia. Maybe some more information would help.

The website URL they used was to a mirror site set up by a marketing company about a year ago. The marketing company owns the URL and put the content up on that site (had to do a whois search to remember that). It was only up for a month or two during an ad campaign, and now is just a parked domain.

I'm thinking that telling them we do not own the domain in question could put an end to it. The problematic image (in a banner from a freelance designer) is no longer on our current site.

Getty Images Letter Forum / Typo in URL

I just noticed that the letter Getty sent to me contains a typo in the URL.  They broke up the domain name using a -

So, instead of saying the homepage was www.mysite.com,  they wrote www.my-site.com,   which is owned by someone else. 

Does that change anything?  Should I respond and say they've contacted the wrong person - I don't own that domain?
