they are pissed that the photo wasnt paid for hence the hefty fee. take it off your site and there is nothing to argue. simple as that.

doesn't work taking it off your site. they save your site before writing to you, they kindly include screenshots with the demands.

Oh, just wondering - have you even said what it's a photo of?

i think yer pulling those numbers out of your ass. they either employ attorneys or have them on reatainer. but they dont willy nilly hire lawyers for each case and pay full hourly rates.. thats bad business
- SteveJobs0
yeah, especially for an image of this size:
- MrD0
yes i am pulling them out my ass
but every retainer has a dollar / hour value associated to it.
$300000 - $500 = $299500 left on retainer
but doesnt the getty image comp usage say that its 3 times or what ever times it is if you stole it?
by you downloading it, you are agreeing to their agreement.

this is the link posted next to the 'download comp image' in the rights managed area of getty
i realize they are covering their ass, but holy shit, nobody is going to read all this

They're taking advantage of your hectic life!! Straight up.

wow that's a bit scary about apple.
Wouldn't worry about that though.
At least apple never sold adding machines to the nazis (IBM) or sold the Nazis oil (Getty). Microsoft sold something to the nazis I'm sure as well. They still do!
