I continue to receive the extortion letter from Getty but now I'm getting emails stated below:
Our office has already attempted to contact you on numerous occasions to resolve our client's claim for the previous unauthorized use of their rights-managed (RM) and copyright protected imagery. Please be aware that copyright legislation provides for strict liability, regardless of your level of knowledge or intent. You have been previously provided the website, along with the URL where my client's imagery appeared. As the end user, your company is ultimately responsible to ensure that the appropriate license(s) or rights to the image(s) have been obtained. Please be aware that if you hired a third party web developer to design your website your company is still responsible to ensure the images that appear on your website have been licensed appropriately. Additionally if you have purchased or acquired images from a subscription service or a website that provides templates you are still liable and responsible to ensure the imagery appearing on your website has been licensed properly.
Kindly respond and advise me how you wish to proceed in resolution so that I may accurately update my client with the progression to their claim. While this matter is in my office, I do have a certain amount of latitude from my client with regards to the final settlement amount. Thank you in advance, and look forward to working with you in finalizing a quick and amicable resolution to this matter on behalf of my client, Getty Images.
Best Regards,

This is an effort to effect a settlement and any information obtained will be used for that purpose
Anyone else receiving these emails besides the letters in the mail? Would like to hear opinions.
