Respond to a Getty Images Letter

When You Need a Hand? We are here to help

I have made this blog to help you respond to Getty Images Letter by showing you the results of my research and also my own solution when I was the recipient of one of these letters.

If like me you run a business (off-line or online), then dealing with a demand letter from Getty Images must be done with caution and consideration. Personally after looking at many DIY solutions and templates I opted to seek professional help as I was spending way too much time researching how to Respond to the Getty Images letter – Yes they reply, but that just prolongs the process – Hey your/my time is money and Getty already want more than is fair from us!

Below is the solicitor I chose, again after a number of calls to other lawyers and I will admit this was in part due to his transparency online (He published a price for this service). All that as well as the great price (not increased in 3 years) I paid is extended to you also.

There are other benefits to using a professional with a proven track record in these cases (apart from sleeping better) and that is that Getty Images usually show more respect when dealing with a solicitor who knows exactly what is “in fact” legally required.

About Michael Coyle

Statement Issued July 2011

I am a copyright solicitor and therefore enjoy all things ‘copyright’. However I am concerned as to the numbers of letters that are being sent out by Getty to individuals and small businesses demanding many thousands of pounds in damages.
Of course if an image has been infringed then it follows that damages must be paid. These damages must be reasonable but before you write a cheque you must put Getty to proof that they are entitled to bring a claim.
If Getty is an exclusive licensee then it is given all the rights and remedies that an owner would be entitled to. However you need to see a copy of the licence. How can you settle a case without seeing the licence? That is the permission for Getty to claim infringement and demand damages. Its lawyers will not issue a claim without producing this licence. If they did they would be heavily criticised by a Judge and indeed the protocols encourage the parties to disclose documentation in pre action disclosure. You will not be penalised on costs if you did not settle the claim before you saw the licence.
Getty usually refers to the confidentiality of the terms of the agreement in place but this is nonsense. You would accept a redacted licence but you need to see the licence. It is important to remember that copyright is a property right. The owner of the property is the photographer. Simple. Not Getty. Getty can bring a claim for infringement but it owns no rights in the property.
Getty has no copyright in the image and therefore must produce the licence in court, if not it will lose the claim. If it is prepared to produce the licence in court why not produce it before court to avoid proceedings. Please do not pay, be reasonable and ask to see the licence.
Mr. M. Coyle
