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.

Getty Images Letter Forum / Can we be sued for wayback machine continuing to display the photo in question?

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.

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....

Getty Images Letter Forum / Can we start a "Success Mission Accomplished" Thread for success stories?

« on: May 23, 2011, 10:58:46 PM »

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....

Getty Images Letter Forum / Is Getty Ripping off their artists and clients?

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?
