    These are the current complaints against Getty Images that are on file with the Washington State Attorney General office. These are complaints about Getty’s Settlement Demand letters sent out over alleged copyright infringement and are done in such a way that many call it “Legalized Extortion” as Getty refuses to provide any proof whatsoever of their claim, give unrealistic and artificial deadlines for payment, make veiled threats of an eminent impending lawsuit all of which are designed to instill fear and panic making the letter recipient pay before they can do any research and find out what is going on.

    From: Chris Vallos [mailto:cvallos@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 9:42 AM To: ATG MI Kennewick CRC Subject: RE: 419707 : A notice from the Washington State Attorney General'sOffice Mr. Mckenna, I also filed a grievance with the WSBA office of Disceplinary Counsel against (Timothy McCormack) the attorney handling the claim with Getty Images. WSBA File no 12-03039 I am attaching the WSBA letter requesting information from Timothy McCormack and Getty Images on this matter. According to the WSBA letter, Mr. McCormack and Getty Images has 30 days from the date the letter was sent (November 1, 2012) The amount that they are demanding ($1286) is ridiculous. Chris Vallos
