发帖数: 228 | 1 My website was done out of country, and a company named Getty Images sent
me a letter saying that one of the image/picture on my website was an
unauthorized usage of their property. They are asking for $600 in fine.
I immediately contacted my web developer and he said that all of his
images are legal. I believe him, because he has done many websites and
they are all listed on his website. If it is not true, then he will be in
big trouble. He had asked Getty Images to provide their licensing for the
picture, but Getty Images ignores it and kept sending me letters demanding
the money.
What should I do? What can I do?
Thanks for your input.

ask ur lawyer to send a letter to them saying they if they do not stop
harassment, you are going to kick their ass ...

发帖数: 228 | 6 I googled about Gettey Images yesterday after I posted this. Getty Images
is known to do such a thing. It is very unfortunate.
Here are the website about Getty Images scams: https://encrypted.google.com/
search?hl=en&biw=1280&bih=687&q=getty+images+scam&aq=0&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=getty

I have this pre-pay legal thing but they were not very helpful. They asked
me to ask my web developer to provide the recipe or some kind of proof to
show that the image is legal. My web developer is Chinese, and my Chinese
is not good enough to deal with the legal matter.
It is very frustrating ! |
