Re: Invoiced from Getty Images for Unlawful Use of Images?
About 4 years ago I built a site for a friend and whilst on the hunt for images I spotted one on a website for DJ I knew. So I asked him if I could use it. Fine he said no probs, he thought is was off a clipart disk! So I did.
After a while a letter to the website owner from Getty requesting immediate removal with a fee for temporary use or buying the use of the image for stupid money.
Horrified (I now check everything twice) I immediately removed the image the same day the letter arrived. Then ignored everything else in the letter.
Never heard another word since. That was two years ago
