Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Modified Image

Thanks, Stinger!
The image had already been taken down prior to receiving the letter, and does not reside anywhere on the server. We unfortunately don't have a record of where exactly it was offered as being free, and it's no longer listed as a free image on Google.
<<My advice is to ignore them.>> Oh? I had the impression that most people respond and request more info... Have you (or anyone) experienced or have heard that they will typically or often go away if they're ignored?
Thanks again!

Hi all,
Let me first say what a great resource this site has been, having just received my first extortion letter... Thank you!
My question involves the use of a modified image... Here's the story: my web designer had used an image that was listed as being free on Google. Evidently, this image was a modified version of an image that's licensed through Getty. In the letter from LCS, they show the thumbnail of the licensed image and the image used on our site. They are not exactly the same, but clearly, the imaged used originated from the Getty image.
1. Should my response be focused on the fact that the images are similar but not the same?
2. Does the fact that we (allegedly) used an image that was a modified version of the original have any real impact on our case?
3. I assume that the fact that it was listed as being free on Google would not make a difference... Is that true?
Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer! BTW, my extortion amount is in the $700's.
