UK Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: SWEDEN: Letter from a law firm recieved!

Oh I haven't been here in a while, so glad to see the posts! Thank you!!
After the first GI letter I contacted the bureau witch the fotographer works for.
I wondered if the demand letter was on their behalf and asked who owned the picture, their answer was:
"Unfortunately, this is between you and Getty, and the photographer's are forbidden to get involved. We have no bearings on what Getty does with the images. You are going to have to contact Getty. There isn't anything anyone here can do.
We do own the picture, but Getty is in charge of the licensing."
Can anyone explain what that means in legal terms? Is Getty still able to sue me?
After the first GI letter I contacted GI Sweden and they told me to contact GI UK since they don't have anything to do in this matter. GI Sweden don't send out theese letters and have never done.
After recieving the first letter from the lawfirm in Sweden representing GI, I asked about proof that the Picture and it's copyrights belongs to GI. Their answear was that no proof can be provided since they don't have any register for that information in Sweden (shouldn't GI be the one that provides that information?, they refer me to the information on GI website that confirms that they own the rights.
This is the information written under the used Picture on GI website:
Photographer: (the photographers bureau name)
Copyright: (the photographers bureau name)
Author: (the photographers bureau name

UK Getty Images Letter Forum / SWEDEN: Letter from a law firm recieved!
« on: May 29, 2013, 07:23:49 AM »
After recieved the fisrt and second demand letter from Getty (uk) in december and january I now have recieved a letter from a Swedish law firm that represents Getty. It says about the same as the Getty images letters, that I need to pay the 2600usd for the 2pics I used on my companys website or I will risk being sued.
I haven't responded to neither the getty letters or this one. Considering now to do so on this one..but what should I write..?? Any ideas?
