Getty won't settle for an apology or anything but money if it's their
image. Copyright lawsuits are a significant source of income for them
now, since the stock photo business has taken such a hit.

However... Getty is currently being sued for *selling* images that are
actually in the public domain! They even tried to get money from one
photographer for her own image!
http://observer.com/2016/07/getty-sued-for-1b-for-selling-public-domain-images/

So first order of business is to find out if it's one of these public
domain images that Getty has been trying to foist off as one of their
own.

If not it'll be cheaper to just pay the few hundred bucks that Getty
wants.

Re: Demand letter from Getty for use of image

2016-09-23 Thread Gonz

If your client is a mom/pop shop, tell Getty to take a hike.  Its not
worth their lawyers time to go after them with the risk that they
might lose if the images are widely available on other sites and have
no watermarks or ownership stamp on it.  Let Getty go after the place
your client got the images from, its more likely that they have more
exposure.  Bigger fish.

Demand letter from Getty for use of image

2016-09-23 Thread Daniel J. Matyola

Travel agent client maintains a website and newsletter featuring vacation
travel venues.  Client makes every effort to use only public domain images.
Client received a letter from Getty Images, claiming a particular image
used by client was a rights managed image controlled by Getty.

The image in question was no longer on the website,, but still appeared on
a FaceBook account.  Client immediately removed it.

The Getty letter states that removal of the image will not resolve the
matter, and demands a monetary settlement for past usage.

Has anyone handled this sort of claim, with Getty or another stock agency?
Will they accepts an apology and an agreement to take reasonable steps to
prevent future inadvertent infringement in lieu of payment?

They named it after the Octomom.

More like because the Latin for 8 is "octō", rather than "octem".

But it does make me wonder why they only started with numbers in the
seventh month. Why aren't January - June numbered rather than having names?

I think it would be cool if instead of June, we had "sex" for a month.

Re: Enablement!

Man, what's it like you've living in the jungle, did you notice any 
Japanese holdouts while you were there?


Really the changes from the *ist-D series of cameras to the K20D was 
immense. The change, except in resolution, from that to the K-5II was 
almost as big.  For you it will be like moving up from a go-cart to a 
Porsche 911, which of course wouldn't have made you a better driver either.


The biggest impact will be that you need more hard drive space to store 
your images, unless like me you don't upgrade your photo computer until 
you absolutely have to, in which case you'll have to upgrade that as 
well, trust me.


Larry is right you'll be amazed how bright and clear your crappy 
pictures can be, except that every, up to now, trifling defect in 
technique will will become glaringly obvious.

Looking forward to what should be a noticeable leap in quality from my *ist-D,

will be interesting to
see if I take better photos as a result...
