Once the matter is resolved, I think I will be able to post more details. I don't want to post or say too much while the case is still open.

I did send Oscar an email this afternoon, but didn't expect a response with the holiday. However, he called me and said it was an unusual case and would talk to their lawyer tomorrow.

It was for a single image, and indeed a lawsuit filed in district court (I have the complaint and filing documents).

Getty Images Letter Forum / Getty filed a lawsuit against me

« on: January 20, 2014, 04:07:32 PM »

Hello all,

In 2011 I received the infamous Getty letter for an old website. After reading through the articles and posts here, I engaged the services of Oscar, who sent a letter on my behalf to Getty.

I hadn't received any new letters or communications from Getty until this afternoon, when a local lawyer forwarded me a PDF copy of the lawsuit Getty filed against me.

My question is: what should I do now - hire a copyright lawyer? Or try to settle? Just wanted to see what my next steps should be.

Thank you.
