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.
website.com
antik-links.blogspot 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 2008 Canadian Gold Maple photograph.
Sample Listing
Canadian Maple Leaf coins have become some of the most desirable bullion coins in the world today.
Available in four sizes of, one-ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce and one-tenth ounce, all are beautifully struck with a gold purity of .9999.
Gold Maple Leaf coins printed only 1 oz coins between 1979 to 1982 of .999 fine gold.
The .9999 1982 Gold Maple Leafs began minting in November. Thus, most of the 1982 Gold Maple Leafs are .999 fine.
For .99999 (“Five Nines”) Pure Gold Maple Leafs, see Special issues.
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).
