    No ... just to use copyright images

    A lot of the time I start a search there and see what it throws back ... its kinda great for getting an idea of whats out there ... sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't ... then its to one of the images banks with a better idea of what I'm after

    Wonder how an email trail holds up in a court of law ... for once not having a link to my site pays off

    Their Graphic Design -> Them -> me ... makes me a happy camper

    Their Graphic Designers response .... Just tell them I got it from google images

    They contacted us. We ignored them. They contacted us again. We told our solicitors. Our solicitors told Getty politely to get lost and that all further communications should go to the solicitors. Getty wrote to us again.

    That was about 6 months ago.

    I haven't heard anything since, but I wouldn't be surprised if we got another letter from them

    *sigh*

    they were asking £2000 for the use of an image that I didn't even like that was about 120pixels x 80 pixels or something like that

    I was told by my client and I removed it immediately ... haven't heard back from them about that but really it was between their graphic designer and them I just can't believe the Graphic Designers response ... tell them we found it on google images
