Precious Metal Shop & Copyright Theft
Precious Metal Shop (preciousmetalshop.com) of Idaho Falls, USA is yet another dishonest dealer who has used our copyright images without permission.

http://www.gonpmg.com/ducat/austrian_ducat.html

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.
Who would have thought such an honest (although they do not claim this) reputable company would resort to stealing images from their competitors?
Surprisingly, their website does not appear to have an "About Us" page, we had to perform a domain name search.

Gold Bullion Page
Their Gold Bullion page contains a copy of our photograph of a 2006 Chinese Gold Panda, which we reproduce. This is also used on their GOLD CHINESE PANDA page. We have since upgraded our own photograph.

What's Wrong?
It is dishonest and unethical to pirate and steal other people's work by using high quality copyright photographs without the owner's consent. To do so in competition with them is doubly devious. We can partially understand why they do it; it is quick and easy (but then so is robbing people).
In this case Precious Metal Shop and its owners could not be bothered to take the time and trouble of photographing gold Britannias themselves, or paying a professional photographer to do it for them, so they decided it was quicker and easier to steal ours instead. All 24 gold Britannia photographs on the Gold Britannias page of their website are ours, although they have altered the colour of them all, possibly to avoid detection. They probably also thought we would not notice.
For these reasons, we conclude the Precious Metal Shop are dishonest and unethical, and we recommend anybody to avoid doing business with them. If they will cheat us by stealing our photographs, what would they do to you for your gold coins or your money?
