Copyright Theft of Coin Images
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.
Grotto Gold (grottogold.com)
Grotto Gold (grottogold.com) of Little Rock, Arkansas, USA are just one of the many dishonest gold & coin dealers worldwide who commit copyright theft by using our copyright images without our permission.
Grotto Gold have used our high quality copyright 1920 Mexican Gold Dos (2) Pesos reverse photograph on a number of pages on their website, without our consent.
Perhaps Grotty Gold would be a better name for them.

What's Wrong?
-
First, and most obvious. Grotto Gold (grottogold.com) Inc have taken and used our copyright images without our consent or prior knowledge. This is a clear breach of our Intellectual Property Rights. We call it image theft, and it is dishonest. It is also unprofessional.
If the company is an important well established bullion dealer, then surely it could afford to take its own photographs, buy them from an image library, or commission them from a professional photographer. Instead it appear to have chosen to steal our pictures. Apart from exposing them as cheapskates, it is unfair competition.
- Grotto Gold (grottogold.com) Inc expect their customers to trust them with the storage of high value assets, yet they cannot be trusted not to steal images.
