Getty Images Letter Forum / NEED VERIFICATION
« on: April 12, 2009, 07:03:32 PM »
Hi All,
I have been a casual reader of this forum for some time due to a similar issue I have had.I noticed some things since I last read this forum several months ago.
At one point in time oscar had stated that since 2005 Getty Images has not filed one lawsuit.Then I remember reading that they filed one or 2.Now I read that they have filed about a dozen or so.
Is this not something you were able to verify prior ? I understand you claim this site isn't for "legal advise" per se,Just information but wasn't that something you could and should have verified before posting?
I also notice that your contention has always been these images are not registered and claim that the only lawsuits they have filed are for 20 images plus.How can they file without them being registered? And if those 20 plus image cases are registered .what are the chances that someone used images of that volume and all just happen to be in the few percentage that are registered?
I also noticed on the main page there is introduction which shows link to www.avvo.com which I am assuming is where mathew first heard of Oscar I was reading Oscar answers on the link below and noticed that there was a copyright attorney Daniel Nathan Ballard who answered just below one of oscar's responses who applauded Getty for this program.Is there any merit to his statements?
