UK Getty Images Letter Forum / Other companies selling the same picture that Getty wants me to pay £900 for!?!

« on: February 05, 2013, 05:28:46 PM »

Hi everyone!
I have small scale business teaching Yoga and found a simple picture of a cat to illustrate balance.
As far as I understood it was not copyright:ed but Getty now wants +£900 for it..

I have found at least one other seller on the net offering the picture for £81 for 1 year (DK images)
So it seems to me that Getty does not have EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS to the picture but I am not sure what this means for me?
Am I in a better position to negotiate??
Are they in fact breaching any laws by chasing me?

Very grateful for any advice.
Thanks

UK Getty Images Letter Forum / Anyone used the services and support from copyrightinfringment.org??

First of all a big thanks to everyone for posting and sharing your experiences.
I have small scale business teaching Yoga and found a simple picture of a cat to illustrate balance.
As far as I understood it was not copyright:ed but Getty now wants +£900 for it..

I am going to write them back but was wondering if anyone here have used or heard of "copyrightinfringment.org"??
They say their lawyer can write a letter on your behalf and that so far no one they've helped has heard back from Getty or at least been taken to court..?

Very grateful for any advice or tips.
