Getty Images Letter Forum / Boxedart.com image suits.
« on: June 27, 2011, 12:33:14 PM »
I see tons of stuff where template monster is settling all the getty cases for you, has anyone had any experience with boxedart images... or know anyway to get hold of their legal folks?
Looks like they are attacking boxedart.com just like they did template monster.

Seems to me they would be obligated to remove them, and it also seems that the simple fact of storing a copy of you site for public consumption without your permission is a good reason to sue them.. Why don't we all get suit happy and sue each other... hell wonder why getty don't sue us all for slander.... calling them extortionists when they are supposed to be innocent till proven guilty... the guilty M...erF...ers.

Has anyone been sued for a photo on wayback machine.  Will they reomove all our sites if we order them to do so?
Isnt' that the same as with google we can order google not to cache our pages and they must comply as they are saving a copy of our copyrighted pages without our permission if we order them to not cache by a code in the meta tag?

Do we need to have way back and google delete and uncache our page if it has a copyright violation...

I note that the images are not on my site in wayback, they are on the wayback domain so is wayback the end user.. and would be liable since they are showing the photos on thier site and not on mine.. they are just claiming they found them on my site... but they are no longer there.....

So bottom line do we need a massive attack on wayback to remove all our sites since its possible there could be something on our page from a purchased template that we may not know is copyrighted.. and even if we found it and removed any questionable images.. they may still be in the google cache and the way back machine.

Not to worry... I just posted this on sitepoint so the herd of traffic should be on the way here tonight...

Does anyone know why Sarah shut down the hottest thread in town? See below:
hxxp://www.sitepoint.com/forums/web-page-design-1/warning-getty-images-cracking-down-390902-2.html
But not to worry... if you think that was a good thread you won't believe how much better this one is: simply search "extortionletter" in google... WOW!

I believe the final disposition varies from case to case but if there was a settlement made usually there is a confidentiality clause to not speak about it. Some may simply go unresolved and pending.

Oops! Sorry Matthew I just saw what you wrote on the Canadian one... I suppose its similar here also.
I had one of these suckers last year, and did not remember the settlement saying.. "Hush..Hush"  I suppose that is because I paid the usual asking price minus the normal 15% discount... so they dont' care if you disclose that one... but I am sure they don't want you disclosing any low ball settlement.

Of course change the xx to tt in the http://

Does anyone have any idea why this topic was closed. Did getty threaten them maybe?  They  were really on a roll with a ton of stuff on this very subject and all of a sudden Sara says "That is all folks!" Topic closed.

WOW! I would love to make one last post there saying this subject is NOW covered at hxxp://www.extortionletterinfo.com so that all those folks would come here....

I know I have not read all of the thousands of posts here, but have read a couple of hundred... and did not come across one happy story so far.
In other words where are all the happy campers saying "Thank you ... Thank you... Thank you... Oscar you they settled with me for 1/3 of what they were asking... or they threw my case out...

Hopefully if I keep reading I will come across one of the Happy Campers...

Thank you Oscar and Chan for all the work it took to put this site together.... and I hope someone can steer me to some threads that will make me smile...
Would be nice to have a "Success Thread" all by its self... so we can gloat over all the victories....

The rumor is that PicScout and the image companies split the revenue from the program, 50-50, but we've found no proof for that.

They claim they are looking out for their artists and clients, but do the artists ever get a dime of this money?
Could we say they are stealing from the artist and lying to us?
