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.

Van Martin a.k.a. Mercado del Oro
Van Martin of Capital Federal Argentina are just one of the many coin dealers worldwide who commit copyright theft by using our copyright images without our permission.
We first came across his name on the website Mercado del Oro registered in Spain, and at first thought it was just another auction or sales listing site. On further inspection, it looks as though its only advertiser is Van Martin of Argentina, hence this separate, extra page.

Mercado del Oro
Mercado del Oro (Van Martin), of Los Manantiales 9, Villa General Belgrano, Córdoba - Argentina, Telefono: VGB: +54 3546 463506, info@vanmartin.com.ar, are just one of the many coin dealers worldwide who commit copyright theft by using our copyright images without our permission.

Van Martin
We have not yet noticed any of our own copyright photographs on www.vanmartin.com.ar, but it is probably only a matter of time. Van Martin continually lists Krugerrands on Mercado del Oro using our photographs.

What's Wrong?

  • First, and most obvious. Mercado del Oro and / or Van Martin have taken and used our copyright image 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.
