Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Letter on image now available for embedding and unsolicited email?
« on: September 17, 2014, 09:53:35 AM »
Thank you so much for the responses!
The image in question is available for embedding now but not when it was displayed on my blog. I was too naive to get this image from a "free image" site... lesson learned. They are asking for $907 but their price formula doesn't apply to my blog's type and use of the image. I just wonder that since the image is available for embed now, its value is reduced since not all Getty images are available for embed.
A major problem is that they contacted me on my personal email and I didn't provide them that info. Is it legal for them to approach me this way? How can I protect myself from their harassment strategies?
