Hi All,

We received a letter from the Law Office of Carolyn E. Wright LLC RE: Corbis Corporation's Copyright Infringement Claim with a photo of two offending images. This came as a shock to us as we paid our former web designer thousands of dollars to build and publish our website with a number of stock photo images on it.

When we reached out to the designer regarding the images and this was his response:
"these images were originally used in as placeholders for the purposes of presentation of complete a work. We have talked about needing to eventually purchase these images.

I was under the impression that this may have taken place way back, I vaguely remember talking about it, second time around when we were placing all the small images on the category pages and we were re-watermarking it.

I'm so sorry for the trouble, we can help to take it off or replace it with some new ones, that you select. Please let me know, we help however we can."

Was it wrong of us to assume that the designer would be handling all copyright permissions when we hired him to build a website for us?

We have ordered the Corbis letter from Oscar and are in the process of removing all of the images. Is there anything else we should be aware of doing?
