Re: Getty Images are at it again!
This may be a daft question but have you paid for the licences?
If so when you signed up for an account with Getty Images did they make you tick the read terms and agreement? I would imagine you can some how access these terms in your account that you created with them so long as you did obviously sign up for an account and pay for the pictures.
Im sure the terms and agreement are set up so that they will protect you if you send a copy back to the lawyer to prove that you paid and purchased the images. If you havent paid for the images then i would imagine that you are in the wrong.
I noticed that you do say you did change the images after the first letter but they are obviously prosecuting for the original offence.
I would imagine its not that easy to push the case through if they are a US company and your hosting is in another country. So you could tell your client to ignore it and you will probably just get a letter each time they audit their accounts or you may want to check with a lawyer of your own to find out your position.
