First, the requisite "IANAL".

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable ignoring the unauthorized use notice. 
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?

I would guess that getty is going to continue bothering the OP unless 
there is some sort of response indicating that he is using the image 
legally.
