Vanguard Capital Group Using Copied 1978 Gold Hong Kong $1000 Images

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.

Vanguard Capital Group

vanguardcapitalgroup.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 1978 Hong Kong Gold $1000 Coin photograph.

1978 Hong Kong $1000 Proof Gold – Year of the Horse (With Box and COA) .4708 oz of Gold

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).
