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.
Gold Prices Gold Price.Com
Gold Prices Gold Price.Com, Richard Wedge Plexel S.A. - plexos.com of
P.O. Box 0816-01071, Panama City, Panama 5, PA , are just one of the many coin websites worldwide who commit copyright theft by using our copyright images without our permission. On their index page http://gold-price.com/index.html, which we reproduce here, they are clearly using our krugerrand reverse image.
They also use it on their index page.
Gold Price.Com are not dealers, so we are more restrained in our thoughts about them. It does appear to us, however, that the site is unlikely to be run purely for the benefit of the public, and we presume that it is financed by income from advertising, links, sponsorship, or similar, in which case, it is a commercial site. While we have found a quote from, and credit to, one of our website, we can find no acknowledgement or credit for the photographs which have been used on the site.
As the site promotes other dealers, via advertising and other links, we consider that our photographs are being used in an unfair commercial manner, to the benefit of the site owners and its advertisers, other sponsors, and possible by its named contributors.
In fact, the link on their Krugerrands page points to "American Gold Exchange, Inc. of P.O. Box 9426, Austin, TX 78766-9426" (http://www.amergold.com/vault/bullion.shtml), whose name seems familiar to us, and we think it's for the wrong reasons... more to follow. Sometimes it seems like every coin dealer in Austin Texas is dodgy, and it seems there are hundreds and them, but maybe it's just one with multiple identities.
