Hello everyone
I made a website for my friend who owns a restaurant about 2 months ago, I used a small image of some beer glasses (they were just simple 4 glasses with beer and nothing else, no face, nothing) by mistake from a blog that and didnt considered any big copyright risk then . But about 2 weeks ago, My friend received a letter and he informed me. I sent a mail to Getty Images UK office that I unintentionally used the image and I am just a student and not a professional who was trying a free website builder , I belong to a poor family and will not be able to give a amount of 1260 Euros! Today I received a mail from them, telling me that they have given me 50% off on the amount and If I pay before 18th December, then I have to pay 530 Euros. Now , after reading all the advice on a number of posts,
Im not sure if I should write them back pleading to reduce the amount to 200 Euros or less
OR
Should I consult a lawyer and tell him to send a letter to Getty asking them various questions as how you calculated this total figure etc.
Please guide me guys, I study in Finland and belong to a poor family.
