Yes, this was the information I needed. Make sure the image in question (along with any other images you did not take yourself or purchase) are removed from your site and server.  If it was one image you received the emails about you should not have anything to worry about.  Just ignore them and wait out your 3 year statute of limitations period, afterwhich nothing can be done and you are free and clear. 

I would keep reading and educating yourself, the letters/emails may become more threatening but the chances that Getty would actually sue you over what you described are infinitesimally small.  You can also fight back if you choose.  If you want to know the type of letters and tactics to expect and what you can do if you want here is a thread you can start with.

infringenot, welcome to the forums. 

I know this all can seem a bit overwhelming but when it comes to the settlement demand letters things are almost never as bad as they seem. These letters are designed to make you feel the way you are feeling now.

Before I can offer any further opinions or links to look at and read I need some information. Who is the letter from? There are many different individuals and companies currently sending out these type of letters and to direct you to the right area I need more information.

In the meantime, you can type in the name of the company in the search box and you will most likely receive quite a few links to read to get you started.

What amazes me is that he continues to leave VOJF up now that it has been linked to him and AdLife Marketing. I would think anyone searching for AdLife marketing or Mr. Albrizio would have to come across all of the VOJF articles and stories. I would think seeing the way it appears Mr. Albrizio has behaved, attacking and involving innocents would be a major turnoff to do business with his company.

Yeah, I am just wanting to see if we start seeing any demand letters issued over the LSA images.  LSA was concerned enough about it to post a warning to all of AdLife's customers on their website.

None of us are going to know definitively the connection between Joel and Linda. I do believe there have been communication between the two of them. I also think Joel might have "used" Linda in the sense of trying to make a "thing" of the out of context snippets of the old episodes of ELI Factor. I might have to go back to the video and grab a snippet of the disclaimer at the beginning and end of that episode so some people don't go running around purportedly "threatened for their safety" or because they don't like hearing or reading expletives.

I would agree with you Matthew. While I believe that there has been some sort of communication between Mr. Albrizio and Ms. Ellis I think the initial referencing of her and fake referencing of Mr. McCormack, when he said along with our friends in Georgia and Washington was just a faint to draw attention away from Joel. If it was all about Joel right from the get-go there would have been no question as to who was behind VOJF, as if we didn't know from the start anyway.

Unless the company is now focusing mainly on copyright enforcement for income which some have speculated on with the company's recent removal of all images and license rights over at LSA Creative Outlet.

Who is the person who felt the need to restart things up by inserting herself into VOJF (and communicate with the "anonymous" blogger) to REPEATEDLY AND INTENTIONALLY hit, smear, and fully name innocents I personally know? Especially a smart, industrious young man starting college? But that same person freaked out simply because her adult, college graduate daughter with gainful employment was mentioned just once?

I remember that post, you did not mention the daughter's name, you only mentioned her initials with the word museum next to it.  That whole post was so cryptic nobody but you and Ms. Ellis knew what you were talking about.  I remember that post because I had to call you and ask what it meant, we were all scratching our heads.

I have been watching the VOJF blog over the last 48 hours in here is another bit of circumstantial evidence showing that it is all Joel Albrizio. When Robert posted his open letter to Brendan Albrizio, VOJF responded with an open letter to Roberts wife in the head of the volleyball league Robert's daughter attends the next day. Likewise pretty much any time Robert makes a post about Mr. Albrizio there is a corresponding post made on VOJF the next day.

If this were a partnership between Joel Albrizio, Linda Ellis and other "concerned citizens" why is it with the flurry of recent posts in response to Ms. Ellis' recent victimization video there has not been corresponding posts defending Ms. Ellis on VOJF? Ms. Ellis has responded in person to a post that I made over on Copyright Anti-Bullying Act. She has been active on her Facebook page, her blog sites and in the comment section of other blogs but no posting of her new video or her rebuttals on VOJF.

The only person that VOJF has defended in detail is Mr. Albrizio and it is only after a post on Mr. Albrizio when you see the activity spike on VOJF. Again, this is just something I have been watching VOJF for and noticing.

We have now had two new pieces of information linking Joel Albrizio and AdLife Marketing to the VOJF blog in a weeks time. The first was when a screenshot of Robert Krausankas'Facebook page appeared on the VOJF blog. The image was only up for a few hours before it was taken down, edited and reposted but while it was up we were able to get screen captures of it showing that Joel Albrizio was the person logged in to the Facebook account at the time the original screen capture was taken.

If that wasn't enough we now have what I consider to be the biggest piece of evidence linking Joel Albrizio/AdLife Marketing to the VOJF blog to date. A new website created by AdLife Marketing with a permanent link on each page to the VOJF blog.

You can read all the background and see the screen captures in this article at Copyright Anti-Bullying Act.

Getty Images Letter Forum / Linda Ellis back to Her Old Tricks Again?
« on: March 02, 2017, 07:46:52 AM »
Well it appears that Linda Ellis is back to her old tricks again. She just recently released another long video using the same old twisted and out of context facts to claim victim status of a cyber bully. I will not give her video any SEO juice by sharing a link to it here but our own April Brown did a good follow-up video which I have included with some commentary here.

Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Letter from LCS/AFP: First steps
« on: February 18, 2017, 09:23:38 AM »
Hello GreenHat55 and welcome to the forum.

If your letter is from LCS I would not worry too much about it.  If you decide to contact them I would ask for proof of copyright and that LCS has the right to collect on behalf of AFP before any negotiation of price begins.  I would want to see proof and I would cite AFP v. Morel case.  In this case BOTH Getty (LCS is a Getty company) and AFP took, sold and licensed without permission Mr. Morel's photos of the tragedy after the 2010 Haitian earthquake.  AFP and Getty had to pay Mr. Morel 1.2 million for their theft so knowing both of their histories I would want undeniable proof before I would even begin to talk about any kind of settlement.

If you want to go the other route you can ignore it and it is HIGHLY unlikely they will waste their time and money over a single thumbnail image.  LCS/Getty's tactics have always been to rely on the letter recipients lack of knowledge, fear of the legal system and artificially small and short deadline to pay.

Most people just remove the image and ignore them, some choose to engage them.  What you choose to do is up to what you think is best.  I choose to engage them in the HIGHLY unlikely event Getty decided to come after me for my single image I could show I tried in good faith to resolve the matter while Getty refused to negotiate in good faith. I documented my dealings with Getty here including copies of all letters and complaints filed against them.

One thing to add, "Marissa" has been around since the first round of emails went out.  S/he was the one who first emails Robert's wife.

Something else that "Joelssica" is not considering, is that if someone were to decide to get get nasty and really fight back, not only does the Albrizio name have many more members to poke, but also Adlife Marketing has a bunch of innocent or largely innocent people involved which could easily become targets, much like the author of VOJF decided to pull names out of a hat.. I'm fairly confident Brendon Albrizio wouldn't want his name mentioned over and over, and over again considering he just landed a new job.. At the end of the day I doubt Joel Albrizio really cares about his coworkers Sharon Ferretti, Douglas Fleaurant, Jeremy Howard or the other employees, but they all run the risk of being in the "line of fire" the longer VOJF stays online.


The other point to make is that the VOJF posts are all B.S., made up stuff, innuendo and things taken wildly out of context while if Robert and were to "go there" and play tit for tat there would not be made up stuff, it would all be real and fact based reporting.  Again, I commend Robert on taking the high ground thus far.

Notice on the VOJF blog, the posts rail about her memes, about jerk-off Jolin, etc....nothing there directly relates to Albrizio or Adlife...except for the IP addresses that directly link to Adlife Marketing..

The Jan 1st story "Businessman vs. Bully" was the only really detailed "article" *cough* and amazingly enough it was all about Mr. Albrizio being reported on by Robert.  He also mentions again he thinks Robert "stole" his image, for someone who is supposed to be dealing with copyright law he doesn't seem to understand hotlinking an image, please read Perfect10 vs Google.  Hot linking is not theft. Of course by the time this piece was written he had already received Oscar Michelen's letter concerning the threats made against Robert that also explained hotlinking to him.  Then again it does not surprise me if he can post a video  on his own sight saying that Robert says an offensive word yet no where in the video does he say it. Mr. Albrizio might also think hotlinking is theft even after a lawyer has explained it to him.
