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.
Cornwall24.net
Cornwall24.net 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 1982 fifty pence reverse photograph.
Sample Listing
The UK Government has announced it will invest £120,000 in promoting and developing the Cornish language (Kernewek) over the next couple of years.
This is of course less that 50p of the tax money of each Cornish person, thus only given back to them to aid their resurgent indigenous national language – but at least an investment is being made.
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).
