Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Getty Images (Cabinet Bouchara Avocats) Attempts to Intimidate ELI to Kill Links
« on: May 07, 2017, 12:31:58 AM »I have to get this straight because I am having mental challenges over this matter. We have a huge American stock photo company known for sending thousands of extortion letters in the last 10 years infamously using legal intimidation tactics and now they have hired a French lawyer from a French law firm, quoting French laws, and threatening to use the French legal system against an American citizen living and operating an American website in the U.S. whose readership is primarily directed to American readers. Did I get that right?My speculation/opinion:
Sounds like an example of where US lawyers didn't want to touch this one. Instead of giving up, the parent company went overseas to find someone willing to take on the case. There must have been some internal drama on this one.
Your response probably validated their US lawyers' concerns about the approach...
