Zillow's initial demand letter included this: "(ii) delete all images, and derivatives thereof, in Your possession and on Your site" As Kate noted in her twitter feed, the decision to not use them in the future was hers: https://twitter.com/mcmansionhell/status/880517699725668352 https://twitter.com/mcmansionhell/status/880517699725668352 https://twitter.com/mcmansionhell/status/880517699725668352 https://twitter.com/mcmansionhell/status/880517699725668352 The Innertubes may have kept her originals around, but being forced to delete them would have destroyed the value to her of a year of pretty concerted work on it.
