  Fucking bullshit Getty Shakedown, nothing less than Extortion.
  They give designers access to their images for comps and what not and inevitable a certain percentage will slip through the cracks and be inadvertently posted online. They use image bots to scour the internet looking for all unlicenced images whish is probably in the tens of thousands, then they pounce, using scare tactics to make you pay ridiculous sums.
  Tell them to go and fuck themselves, Getty has never prosecuted anyone over copyright infringements because they know they don't have a case.
