The mainstream company I work for has a site we built just to show site proofs to clients, basically a list of clients with their work inside.
We placed an image of theirs in the header of a proof and put it up. It had the Getty (or Corbin, I forget) watermark on it, the problem was it was like a 300 dollar image and we wanted to make sure the client wanted to use that one before purchasing it. Getty contacted us threatening to sue one or two days later.
We explained what was going on and after some time they understood but had us remove the proof immediately.
I am curious how they found the image since it was a jpeg of the psd and not the orig pic that possibly had metadata or w/e in it.
Either way, lesson learned.
