UK Getty Images Letter Forum / Getty have asked me to prove I am a student??

« on: May 23, 2013, 10:37:56 AM »

I received the Getty letter a few days ago - I am currently a full-time student and called them immediately to try and sort it out (I panicked and didn't look on the internet to see if anyone else had received a similar letter). I explained that I have never been on the Getty website & would not purposely download a copyrighted image - I obviously have done a lot of research since and realise that this was very naive!
The woman I spoke to asked me to prove I was in full time education & stated she may be able to lower the fee, so I asked my tutor to email them confirming such.

Please can anyone advise on what the next step is? Do I call them again or confirm in writing with a copy of my student I.D.?

Thanks in advance!
