Catalyst Report
Complaint Description
Description Getty images.com is company in question. They are trying to charge 2300.00 for 2 pictures. We have paid for the use of these pictures. Our Webb designer paid for these pictures. He said their web site was very diffucult to navigate. He said apparently they had fine print that was not easily accessable. This created some confusion. Now the company is threating us for violation of copywrite laws. There is no way 2 small pictures would be worth 2300.00. I hate to file a class action law suite. This company is engaging in very fraudulant activity.
