Copyright Theft
Perhaps we should be flattered by the number of people including dealers who continually infringe our IP (Intellectual Property) rights by using our copyright images, but we do not find it amusing, and will take legal action against any copyright thieves.
2-clicks-coins.com
2-clicks-coins.com is just one of the many coin dealers, bloggers & websites worldwide who commit copyright theft by using our copyright images without our permission. On their website, a page of which we reproduce here, they are clearly using our 1852 Adelaide Gold One Pound photograph.
Sample Listing
On of the rarest Australian gold coins is the Adelaide gold coin. Some currency experts argue that it’s not a coin since it was struck without Royal assent or approval. Thus, it’s merely a coin-shaped ingot or a lump of gold with a monetary value equal to the Australian pound. But numismatists consider this a valuable and significant gold coin in the history of Australian coinage.
After the first year of minting of the Australian gold pound, they found out that its intrinsic value exceeds its face value of one pound. The mint authorities mandated to have all Adelaide gold coins shipped to London for melting. One year later, the Adelaide gold pound coinage was stopped.
What’s Wrong?
It is dishonest and unethical to pirate and steal other people’s work by using high quality copyright photographs without the owner’s consent. We can partially understand why they do it; it is quick and easy (but then so is robbing people).
