Actually, there message seemed pretty reasonable to me: we are X; we have found Y on your site; we own the copyright to Y, although you probably found it through Z, who we gave a licence to; since we haven't given *you* a licence to use Y, you should remove it from your site; alternatively, you can obtain a licence for the images - selling licences to the images being how we pay for their existence in the first place.
It's a capitalist world: people spend money to do things, and do things to make money, and they don't like other people using those things without paying their due value. Live with it.
