Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:?
I am a victim here with no knowledge of wrong doing regarding the subject matter with Getty Images
I am a one man company, making a livingI have no knowledge of web page design or images that were usedI would not have used any of there imagesThe ones responsible is who downloaded the image when building my pageIf, I would have known of wrong doing I would have corrected the issue as soon as possible myself.?
I have emailed Getty Images compliant department of an amount offer of $to clear this matterI have not yet got a responseGetty Images made the comment that they fall victim to individuals pirating its property, Getty Images has done nothing but made me feel like a victim!
I feel sorry for Getty Images loss as well as myself to be caught up in this, but the amount Getty Images is trying to obtain from me as a victim is outrageous.?
I feel Getty Images combativeness towards me is unacceptable and unjust! Getty Images made the comment that they identified the Complainant as having used unlicensed imagery from their collectionsHow did they identify me when I have never stolen anything personally.?
I am in NO way denying that Getty Images didn't find one of their images on my website that was built by an *** *** Company, who is solely responsible for the misuse of the image? I have been in contact with Getty Images thru emails as well as phone conversation which I must say was not professional especially with their communication skillsI hope Getty Images comes to realization that they have targeted the wrong person who stole their images.Sincerely,*** ***

We are in receipt of the complaint regarding the referenced matter that you forwarded to us recently.?
By way of introduction, Getty Images is a leading creator and distributor of digital content, including still and moving images.? We license thousands of images each day on our
website, www.gettyimages.com.? Customers such as graphic designers, advertising agencies, and publishers license our imagery for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to print advertising, billboards, newspaper and magazine articles, brochures and websites.? Our license information is clearly available from each page of our website, and we do not permit the use of our imagery without a license
Notwithstanding the license requirement, like other digital media companies, Getty Images does fall victim to individuals pirating its intellectual property.? To combat this, Getty Images uses both employees and digital image recognition software to locate entities that have used Getty Images’ imagery without paying a license feeWe recently identified the Complainant as having used unlicensed imagery from our collections
We sent the Complainant a notice that we had found use of our imagery on their website and that we had been unable to locate a license for such use.? We included an internal case reference number and provided proof of use, showing our image, along with a screenshot of the image in use on the Complainant’s website.? We explained that the image used was a high-value rights-managed image and asked the Complainant to contact us to discuss the matterWe also asked the Complainant to contact us immediately if they believed they received our letter in error.?
Even if the Complainant has removed our imagery from their website, removal alone does not resolve this matter.? Our imagery is protected by copyright.? Getty Images either owns or is the exclusive licensor for the image(s) at issueCopyright law holds responsible anyone who copies or publicly displays an image without authorization of the copyright holder.? ? Thus far the Complainant has failed to produce a valid license.? The Complainant’s use of our imagery without a license constitutes copyright infringement, for which we are entitled to seek damagesCopyright infringement is based on strict liability, meaning that the act itself establishes liability and no intent is required.?
Please note that we are not alleging that the Complainant owes a debt; we are alleging that the Complainant used intellectual property without authorization and therefore is liable for damages.? We are simply asking the Complainant to pay for the imagery that the Complainant used and the damage caused by not licensing the imagery in the first place
We understand that copyright law can be confusing; however, the campaign to file complaints against us is misguided and misdirected.? We encourage review of the license compliance information provided on our web site at: http://stories.gettyimages.com/category/visual-insights/copyright/ for more on copyright issuesGetty Images has acted appropriately and in good faith, and we are well within our legal rights to seek damages for unauthorized use of our images
Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.? We remain hopeful of reaching an amicable resolution to this matter
