Thank you all for your advice and opinions. I will keep you updated to the results of my case. I will think more on what I would like to do and how I am going to carry forward with this.

He is still selling this. I have been in contact with him of course and he is trying to find the official resellers license for me. Either way I think I did about as much as reasonably expected to ensure my safety. Obviously I will ask for a more official license before I dare in the future.

Getty Images Letter Forum / I too am a victim of Getty Images

Hi there,

 My name is Steve and I live in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada. I too received one of these very threatening letters from Getty the other day. I purchased a graphics package off of Ebay last month from a Power Seller that claimed to have full license to use all the clip art, photos, and PSD templates for multiple websites. I thought this would be a great tool! I emailed the seller before and after the sale to confirm I had valid license to use any or all of the images being sold and he replied with yes both times telling me that they were completely legal to use. Of course the first image I decided to use on my own website was one that Getty claims to own. I immediately took it down when I became aware it "may be" copyright protected. My extortion letter was for $1130 for the use of their image.

I tried contacting them of course and they were not very sympathetic to my situation. I would like to know if your ELI Defense Letter Program would work for me too? or is it just limited to US?

Thanks in advance
Steve
