I think, the image should be replaced in the next release; even when the fee
could easily be reduced, it would be good to elimiate that problem.
It seems, that Getty works systematically; I have found one German case

I'd be the one getting fined and dealing with the hassle, not inter7.
Do you guys have copyright over the image or is it licensed
appropriately from the copyright holder?
The guy who remade the templates way back when had ownership of the
image. Gettyimages has some web bot that goes around looking for
images they sell. Semi-automated harassment.
If you're concerned about the image, open it up, paste white all over
it, and be done with it.
I'd definitely remove the image and/or substitute it with something
else, but the notice that we receive indicates that just removing the
image does not absolve our responsibility to pay the fees. Do you have
any proof of ownership for the image by the creator of the templates?
Do you know who the creator was so that we might could make direct contact?
