Wasnt it Getty who sued a student lass who'd copied a getty image to make a painting from and entered it into a competition and won, through all the press she got from the competition, the stock photo firm saw the pic then sued her ass.
Proper c*nts if you ask me. Particularly as artists do this kind of ripping all the time - see Shepard Fairey thread lol.Not sure where the law stands if your designer is accountable.
If you buy a stolen car then it's your problem.
I'd do what everyone else is suggesting, take the images down and get into some dialogue with getty to clear the air, tell them you's had nothing to do with sourcing the images in the first place.Mind you the advice from monNom might be right about not contacting getty cos it'll only get you on their radar.
