Perhaps I should say that I reblogged the image, which is like retweeting on Twitter.  I was not the original post, I only shared the post on my Tumblr blog.  The original site was on the post.  If someone clicked on my blog post it would take them to the original blog post.

Getty Images Letter Forum / Extortion letter

Good morning, 
Searched for this topic but found nothing. I reposted an image I was sent on Tumbler and of course I got a letter from Getty Images about unlicensed image use. $1065 seems a bit excessive as it was on my blog. Checked the license fees for that image and social media per each(ie: tumbler or facebook or etc) was $335. Not sure what my next move should be. Any thoughts by more experienced members? Thanks, Elizabeth
