I am a supporter of copyright, my livelihood depends on it, but the thought of malevolent bots like cyveillance, picscout and Getty sliming all over my site consuming bandwidth and resources gets under my skin

surely there's something that can be done to stop them using bots and "sliming" all over our pages, that really gets to me aswell....

I'm guess they block/forge their UserAgent.

I don't really see the issue here. You missused a photo, knowingly or not, you still did. Plead for leniency maybe but I don't believe you have any right (legal or otherwise) to try and say that you shouldn't have to pay this.

As someone who has had my own images used in completely inappropriate places I am a firm believer in either buying or asking permission from the owner for the right to use the image.

Randomly getting images from google image search and using them is stupid and irresponsible, and is obviously going to cost you time and energy to resolve.

We received a getty invoice last week for 5k for two images....

Now I never use other images without permission as I'm frequently on the other side of photo theft...

We had stopped using the pictures a few months back - and it was driving me up the wall how the hell I had slipped up.... then a workmate told me we had used getty for about two months after i started here and I'd completely forgotten.....

so checked the download history and the images are legally bought

haven't told getty yet - will just sit back and let them waste time and effort before I produce the account details....

The problem with Getty is that they take a very heavyhanded approach.

While some people are obviously going to try stealing copyright most of us aren't, but we're all treated as criminals by Getty
