Usually this is done when someone purposely steals an image, or they forget to filter a photo by license and grab an image that has a copyright.īefore I explain what happens next, make sure that whenever you use these photos you provide photo attribution to the original author.
This same image could be bought for $18 on a different website, but now Getty Images was stating that “the damage has been done” and the settlement is your only chance to avoid a copyright lawsuit. How do I know this feeling? I went through it myself and was told I owed roughly $1000.00 for an image of a welcome mat.
Your stomach sinks you wonder how this happened, and then you come to the realization that you are faced with hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in debt. Typically the range is between $750 to $950 per image for copyright damages.
You open up the letter and it hits you….Getty Images is demanding that you pay for images that were used on your website. After getting inside, you view your mail and see something from Getty Images. Stability AI did not seek any such license from Getty Images and instead, we believe, chose to ignore viable licensing options and long-standing legal protections in pursuit of their stand-alone commercial interests.You get done with work and after your long commute you grab your mail and head inside your home. Accordingly, Getty Images provided licenses to leading technology innovators for purposes related to training artificial intelligence systems in a manner that respects personal and intellectual property rights. Getty Images believes artificial intelligence has the potential to stimulate creative endeavors.
It is Getty Images’ position that Stability AI unlawfully copied and processed millions of images protected by copyright and the associated metadata owned or represented by Getty Images absent a license to benefit Stability AI’s commercial interests and to the detriment of the content creators. Earlier today, Getty Images commenced legal proceedings in the High Court of Justice in London against Stability AI claiming Stability AI infringed intellectual property rights including copyright in content owned or represented by Getty Images.
