@EVNL - please refrain from insulting bottom feeders.  ;)

I can not locate this image as being registered with the copyright office.

I'm beginning to think that the general FAQ that i sent does indeed come from Picscout, and is probably dynamically generated based on the login of attorney /rep for each company.

I have also search rfcexpress and have not located any suits, will search pacer later.

Although the elderly Kentucky couple won't go public out of fear, at least they were smart enough to hire Oscar. Fortunately, Oscar was nice enough to help out pro bono on that one but the easiest way to fight that one was to go public. People would have rallied very quickly.

One only needs to go study the recent case of "Jennifer Petkov" the woman who cyber-bullied a dying 7-year old.  The Internet and media rallied so quickly over the outrage.

I am quite confident that will be the end of it as Getty does not have the reputation to sue. And Oscar will help them see the light of going any further.

And as much as we are loathe to admit it, Getty's approach starts looking much more professional and attractive when compared to Imageline, HAN, and their lawyers.

Why was my demand letter asking $10,000...everyone else seems to be getting letters for sooooooooooo much less???

Funny how I actually did gain a very small amount of respect for Getty images, compared to these other asshats, but that respect has now been lost in light of Oscar's recent post about the folks doing work for veteran in Kentucky..Getty Images and the rest have no heart, scruples or anything. They are all  scummy trolls of the highest order!

Personally, I will never regain any kind of respect for this business period end. Next to this case, let us not forget about the 10 year customer for which Getty was so appreciative....

We need to find out if this image from Nordic is even registered with the US Copyright Office, my search has not yielded anything as of yet, but it's not very search friendly as we all know.

and then there is this in the letter  "settle your invoice", don't they even realize this is a claim at this point.

Back to "Nordic Photos"......I also could not find anything in the U.S. Copyright Website Search Records under the artist's name or the company name:

Nina Hellström
Nordic Photos
NordicPhotos

All searched by "Name", "Keyword", and "title" and nothing at all comes up.

The demand letter of course gives no "registration number" nor does it claim "exclusive rights".

Same song different dance.

Looks like someone visited our Facebook page, that received a letter from Nordic  as well...another stock photo company to put on our "watch list"
