I had an intern use a Getty Image he found on the open internet, on our website by accident. We got maybe 100 visitors in a week. He didn’t know it was a Getty images, but yes, he should have cleared the image first. Somehow Getty found it and tried to sue us for thousands of dollars. Literally thousands, the number was completely ridiculous. Luckily I had good legal representation and he got it down to 500 dollars, which is still ridiculous for a small mistake.
Get fucked, Getty
$500 seems pretty fair. It was genuine copyright infringement of a paid product for commercial use.
Getty will steal other people’s photos on the Internet and sue the original photographer for using their own work. They do this all the time. Fuck Getty.
Sauce? I need something to be mad about today. Alas, I searched for getty sues original photographer and came up with articles about photographers suing Getty, but not the other way around.
They sued for thousands so in the end it would be $500. If they asked $500 up front, it would have been $50.
