She trusted her customer, who didn't have the rights to use the photo.
There should be some defense in that.
This guy took an image from google images, didn't even try to find out
if it was public domain, was sued, lost and then defamed the
photographer for defending his rights. I expect that another lawsuit
may be in his future. He's the gift that keeps on giving.

Getty is among those who profit from innocent use of their copyrighted

A client of mine posted on her site an image forwarded to her by a
customer, them was sued by Getty for having the image on her site for less
than two days.

To put it into context, the reason I was sued was because I used a picture
that I found on Google Images. Now, I should have known better, yes, in my
position I should know better. But, again, I never really thought that
there are malicious people out there that […] maliciously put pictures on
the Internet.
[People] that copyright pictures that they take and what they do is
they’ll get like a copyright on it, and they’ll put it out on the Internet,
and it’s freely available on the Internet […] and they literally, some
people specifically do this as a job.
