Gold Guinea (goldguinea.co.uk) & Copyright Theft
Gold Guinea Paul Max (goldguinea.co.uk) is yet another dishonest website who has used our copyright images without permission.
Copyright Theft is Dishonest - Can You Trust This Dealer?
Using other people's copyright images is illegal, it is dishonest, and it is unethical. Using the hard work of a fellow dealer to sell the same goods in competition with him demonstrates an extremely low standard of ethics. We would not recommend anybody to transact business with this person or company.
What's Wrong?
Gold Guinea are using our high quality copyright coin photographs on many of their web pages, including their "Gold Guinea Reviews and Price Checker" page, (shown here), "The Most Expensive Gold Guinea Review" page, "Gold Guinea Review Archives" page, and possibly others.
This image is our copyright property, and is being used without our permission.
Who would have thought such honest (although they do not claim this) respectable
people would resort to stealing images from their competitors?
Gold Guinea's Who We Are Page
As with most of these useless, time-wasting, pseudo-expert, advertising portal webshites websites, there is no "About Us" page.
Pseudo Expert eBay Advertising Portal Sites
Creating and seting up a website us now so easy that almost any idiot can do it!
There are a growing number of pseudo-expert sites written by people who know next to nothing about the subject, writing a pile of regurgitated crap mainly gleaned from other websites, stealing a few photographs here and there, then using the eBay API to add eBay advertising to the site. eBay then pay commission either for click-throughs, or on sales made as a result of them.
Most of these sites are an almost total waste of space and time. They only add verbal diarrhoea to the web, and detract from the overal quality of the internet, by diverting attention from better sites authored by real experts not hack paid by eBay to push suckers their way.
These sites compete with us not only for web space and search engine ratings, but also by accepting payment to channel people towards eBay and its members; and doing so using our images.
Sites like this, and their anonymous owners, are parasites.
Who would have thought such honest (although they do not claim this) respectable
people would resort to stealing images from their competitors?
