Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: Received extortion letter requesting $570 for erroneously posted private image
« on: March 11, 2017, 09:58:25 PM »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.
