Much Getty butthurt detected.
I don't see what the point is of taking it down.
But, whatever makes them feel better.

I'll bite, their BS complaint response form letter states that they cannot provide the complainant with proof due to confidentiality agreements between Getty and the artist but the user agreement says that they can provide confidential information when necessary to uphold the contract which lucia called them out on. At least that's the way I interpret the way that paragraph reads. Trying to settle a case quickly could be done by providing this information but it just shows that Getty isn't really interested in protecting their artist's rights as they are in trying to grab money they are not entitled to.

In addition to what Greg said, they don't want us "non-legal" types to rip apart their agreement, nor do they want ELI linking to it, thus using their bandwidth, altho this seems fine for picscout to steal our bandwidth...

I can visualize Lisa Wilmer sitting at her desk for yet another day, then going home to whomever..

whomever: how was you day dear?
Lisa: oh just another day in the trenches, sending out extortion letters and dealing with those thorns in my side at ELI. They just won't seem to go away..

Most questions have already been addressed in the forums, get yourself educated before making decisions.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.

Yeah it really sucks when the non-legal types can rip apart your contracts let alone what the legal types do to them.  I wish Getty v Advernet could have played out to end.  Just saying.  ;)

BuddhaPi, did you just pre-release the idea for your next meme?

Or were you asking one of us to put the thorns in Lisa Wilmer's sides?

Just asking.

I don't think I need to ask to put thorns in Lisa Wilmers' side, the community tends to that on it's own when deemed necessary, or at least I do. I also never mentioned the neme..you did!

I guess that at this point, we can all agree that payment is "optional".
They ask for too much in their settlements, so less people are taking that above "option", though.
