indeed
$7k seems alot but rights managed cost more than $10 for royalty free.
say $1000 for rights managed
if other client is already using it they are open litigation.To do research on this matter, they would have hired a lawyer internally, and their rate say is $500 - 1000
Their bot tool would also cost money, say $50-100 (spread through out)
Also, administrative cost could be around $500-1000 (someone has to put this in to report and over head of the process)
Collection dept would also cost $100-500
The cost to the photographer would also be around $500-1000 (or less)
Also, not knowing how long this image has been used, they would estimate for past usage. That could be $1000-3000
it just costs money, they need to cover their ass from clients and photographers.
if they didnt take these steps, photographers wouldnt sell photos to them or clients buy them
i mean, if you wanted an exclusive image, but you find out that someone else is using a stolen one out there, and getty wouldnt do crap about it, you wouldnt buy it from them. To me that makes good business.
