I've been reading the forums and would like some feedback on my situation.
We have 2 clients that received letters, one had 1 image infringement and another client had 2 images according to Getty. We called Getty on both and they weren't interested in negotiation on either, and as I saw in the forums once they know there's another party involved they're typically even less interested in negotiation.
Ques. 1: what is the pt. of Oscar's letter defense program? Is it to help negotiate a settlement, or what? My concern is that I pay for the letter and still end up paying a large enough price to Getty at the end of the day that I would have been better off just paying them their ransom.
My hope/goal with Oscar's letter would be to get a lower settlement or better outcome than paying Getty outright for their ridiculous request;--just don't want to end up paying the letter fee plus Getty and end up worse financially.
Any advice appreciated. Also, does any of the approach/strategy change here since these are clients?
