This company sends a full copyright infringement letter to us stating that we used an image they own or own the rights to without permission or a licenese.

The image in question was a tiny thumbnail image that wasn't even hosted on our website - it was hosted on Facebook and our website has a feed reader from Facebook.

$800 for a photo they claim copyright ownership of is ridiculous. This is clearly just a companies way of scamming people out of money. Extortion is what this is - a modern day form of extorting money from small businesses across this country.

Getty Images Inc Getty IMages Getty Images mailed the 2 letters to a non-existent address in Austin, TX so I never received the letters. On 08/27/13 I received a letter from their attorney McCormack demanding payment of $1,876.and threatening $150,000.000 in damages. When I contacted McCormack to follow up, they emailed me a copy of the two letters that had been mailed to a non-existent address in Austin back in 01/2012. I am a licensed Realtor and my mailing address is a public record. Getty Images not only mailed me the 2 letters to a non-existent address but they sent them via regular mail as opposed to certified mail. I have consulted with an attorney and will be retaining legal counsel to protect myself from this scan and harassment.
