« on: March 10, 2011, 23:40 »For the grand total of $1.08? I wouldn't put it past them! It will be interesting to see. I have no portfolio and don't plan to add any files. I have 7 credits in my account, which I am tempted to spend right soon.I got my letter today and I don't even have a port anymore! Where are they going to take the money from??
I was telling my brother about what happened and felt that it was just amazing what they are doing to their bread and butter. I said either Getty is making a deliberate effort to scuttle iS, or iS is just as stupid and greedy as they appear. I can only assume that they think because they are the number one microstock site, no one of any consequence is going to defect, so f**k the ones that do. Well, that will work only to a point. I don't think Calgary has come to that realization just yet. When they do, it will probably be too late.
They'll probably sue you or turn you over to a collection agency which will cost them more than if the just let it fly just to prove their point....and for next years tax deduction....lol
I posted this on iS but don;t think it will last there, but has anyone thought about contacting the Canadian attorney general or the Dept. of Justice? Or would it have to go through the US because of Getty? Just a thought.
