Thank you Robert & Greg.

If and when they decided to sue, would there be an ability to settle prior to court, without any extra costs?
On the courthouse steps as they say.

Thanks again for any help.

Getty Images Letter Forum / How many have been sued for use of one pic?

Hi Everyone,
I am new here, and like everyone else, got the dreaded demand letter.

I am pretty sure, but can't find old records (2007) to prove I purchased the image from another site. I have never stolen images for use on a clients site.
(I know better as I have heard of this type of extortion by getty before)

In my situation it was ONE image and it was removed immediately upon receipt of the notice.

I am located in Canada.

It really doesn't seem logical for them to go through all this for a single image.

Is anyone aware of how many people have been sued for use of one image, on a small business site?
Thanks for your input
Scott
