Getty Images Letter Forum / Got a letter from a "Photo Attorney" who is on Caroline Wrights team
« on: March 03, 2013, 06:55:16 PM »
Yup got the letter Friday, they are asking over 4,000! She states the copyright number of the photo in her letter and a screenshot of the photo. I did a stupid thing responding saying I don't have money, no credit and owe the irs and state of hawaii back taxes. In the same email reply to her letter, I sent the google image link I found the image on...stated there were no watermarks. I had no idea that was considered an infringement!!
She came back saying for me to send her my tax info (without SSN) and her client would take that into consideration. She asked for a reasonable counter offer.
I came back to her and told her I took down the image and thought that was reasonable and the right thing to do.
She came back with puffed feathers saying I could be liable for tens of thousands of dollars and repeated for me to please send all my tax documents for them to consider.
After all that I decided to cruise the internet and found this site... what an impetuous ding dong I can be at times!! I scanned and sent letter to the attorney here... but man, 295. is hefty fee for me to pay! UGH. I do know a few lawyers locally was thinking using them but its not their specialty. :-( Sooooo bummed and consumed over this!!
