Thank you Mathew I was kind of angry at the company when I wrote this I am currently going through all the information on the site and I am grateful for you guys putting up all this information I was just frustrated when I first found the site and that so many people are being forced into the same situation.

I have sent an email to Oscar and I am awaiting a reply thanks for the help.

Mark.

I just recived a letter from Getty requesting $1225 for an image infraction I called them and they reduced it to $1040 which I explained was a crazy amount for the infraction because I was unaware it was copyright as it was purchased as part of a template I used on my website they said they captured the image in November of 2010 and my site was offline then the company I was subscribed too were out of business and the site was not going anywhere so I just left it offline.

I also contacted the photographer of the image in question and he said he has no control of what Getty does with his images so he could not help.

I am just looking for ideas there is a lot on this website so looking for pointers for my next step?

Thanks to Anyone that could help!!...
