This is in regards to the outrageous "Getty Extortion Letter" received by many webmasters who unintentionally use a copyright protected image often found of free image sites or purchased as part of a template.

They demand $780.00 payment for a tiny thumbnail cropped image of a PDF article that was published in a magazine in 2007. I happened to write the published article and the graphic was purchased by the magazine publisher. But Getty wants me to pay for infringement because their image appears on a PDF I posted online. This action bt Getty smacks of being a scam. I also have recently received Getty Image’s threatening demand payment letter.
