Getty images $6000 bill for images - anyone deal with this?
I've heard examples of where people got billed thousands of dollars by Getty for inadvertent use of their images. For example if you were a customer of a certain top-known template website, they apparently had unauthorized images in them.
There's a good site talking about this, at:

Anyone else deal with this? eg you
a) bought a template from a top-known template site (I won't mention them by name)
b) you get a bill for thousands of dollars for unauthorized use (of a template that had say 6-8 images that apparently were unlicensed) from the image site?
c) there's the subsequent lower-claim-turns-to-collection-agency-dunning routine that the image site engages in?
Any tips/advice/insight? I've read up on other threads here, and other sites discussing this; would be good to hear any personal anecdotes/updates... thanks!
