  change the photos and ignore the letter. DO NOT CONTACT GETTY. (you don't want to get on the radar).

  The goal of the letter is to dupe you into paying their pie-in-the-sky 'damages' without a lawsuit or court order. There's nothing legally binding about it.

  Had a client go through a very similar situation (new ownership, old designer never purchased the rights). They changed out the photos, threw the letter away and never heard from getty again.

  • this was their legal department's advice. Your client should talk to their own LAWYERS about it.monNom
