I don't hold a license to use an image on a work related website (I'm a sole trader).
It was intended to be a holder image and get replaced before it went online but it never did.
G*tty have been in touch with me via email and potentially mail to a previous postal address (haven't updated who.is yet)
They've said to remove the image and contact them to agree a payment (they haven't mentioned a sum - though searching the image on their website runs a license fee in the thousands for the useage that's taken place. I'm happy to pay fair market value - in the tens of pounds based on the fact it's a very generic image but thousands...pft).
The who.is has a burner email address, my old home address, my current phone number.
The domain itself has no contact details but a contact form.
Course of action?
I was thinking that I could remove the offending image, then sell the domain to someone else (friend/family) and not respond to emails/any forwarded mail but wondered if the liability would travel with the website?
