We have heard about website owners receiving stock photo settlement demand letters. This is a letter that indicates the site owner has used an image on their site, for which they do not possess the license to use. Often times these letters contain the settlement amount the site owner is required to pay for use of the unlicensed image(s). We’ve seen letters for as little as $100, and as high as several thousands of dollars (per violating image). The best way to avoid this situation is by always ensuring that you have the licensed rights to the images on your website.
However, in the event that you receive one of these letters, you may wish to explore your options.
