Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Getty Images Extortion Letter in China

I see this strategy working very well in law-abiding countries but in China or Russia (where i'm originally from) they would lough in Getty's face. At least thy definitely can :-)

Of course she spoke with her manager (ten thousand winks).
But seriously, my guess is that the process is almost fully automated so they don't really distinguish between live or not live sites. As long as match is made by scanpix The Letter is going out.
Which makes an interesting situation. In case i'm involved in the website targeted by Getty was moved (minus images in question) to a new hosting provider. But i know for a fact that the old site with images in question is still sits on the server of an old hosting provider (only they can completely remove it). So, i guess, lucky Getty now they can extort again for the same images.

I understand Singapore and Hong Kong, but what their hopes are in China. The last I've heard China was still not a part of international copyright agreements, etc. (correct me if I'm wrong).

Yep, Wayback Machine is scary ;-)
It gives you your website almost every month from when it first appeared. I can see now when images in question appeared on one website i'm helping.

I was surprised to find no mentioning of the Getty Images tactics on sites like Digg.com.
So I've submitted your great site: http://digg.com/tech_news/Getty_Images_resorts_to_extortion_tactics_to_make_a_profit
Digg it guys. Spread the word!
