Inexpensive Gold (inexpensivegold.com) & Copyright Theft
Inexpensive Gold (inexpensivegold.com) Domains by Proxy, Inc of Scottsdale, Arizona, USA is yet another dishonest website who has used our copyright images without permission.
Copyright Theft is Dishonest - Can You Trust This Site?
Using other people's copyright images is illegal, it is dishonest, and it is unethical. Using the hard work of a fellow dealer or website owner to sell the same goods or advice 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?
Inexpensive Gold are using a number of our high quality copyright coin photographs on many of their web pages, including their "Home or Index" page, (shown here), "Swiss Franc Gold Coin" page, "Prices" page, and possibly others, together with a significant number of other pages.
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?
Inexpensive Gold's "About Us" Page
As with most of these useless, time-wasting, pseudo-expert, advertising portal webshites websites, there is no "About Us" page.

Domains by Proxy, Inc
Domains by Proxy, Inc claims to exist to help individuals from having their names and addresses made public, which we believe is probably fair. Nominet in the UK allow private non-trading individuals to withhold their address details. However, it is obvious that there must be many individuals who wish to avoid publication of their details for other reasons.
There are many reasons we could imagine which would make it desirable for individuals to conceal their identity and whereabouts, including being criminals, terrorists, copyright abusers, child pornographers.
Domains by Proxy appear to be equally happy to protect these undesirable elements of our society. They do publish a "Subpoena Policies" page on their website, which states that they charge the enquirer or complainant for "compliance costs", which we believe could be an attempt to obstruct anybody with legal reasons for wishing to know the identity of domain registrants.
