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.

What's Wrong?
Superior have used a number of our high quality copyright coin photographs on their website without our permission. They also include a copyright sign on their pages implying that they are the owners of the Intellectual Property Rights of the material contained on that page. In other words, they are claiming they own our copyright.
Apart from being dishonest, this may also give some web viewers the mistaken impression that we (a smallish UK company) have used Superior's (a large US company) photographs.

Pirated Photographs
We noted the following of our photographs which Superior have used:


via their website, claim:

Another Glenn Beck Fox News Connection
Like Goldline International Inc, who have also stolen our photographs, Superior appear to have advertised on Fox News, and also appear to be in the business of ripping people off, under the guise of providing them with investment gold, and advice.

We have shown two of our own images so that you can compare.

Our Opinion
We have a very low opinion of other dealers who steal our images, and use them to compete with us. It is dishonest. We could sue these people, possibly for thousands of dollars, but it costs time and money, and even though we would win and be awarded costs, we might not be able to recover the costs if the copyright thieves turned out to be impecunious or insolvent. That's why we have decided to give these crooks some free advertising our our website, something which we do not normally provide even for payment.

Gold Dealer Superior Gold is Seized, Assets Frozen
What a surprise!

Rare Coin Investment Pushers
We mention Superior in our Rare Gold Coins as an Investment
page as one of many US dealers who try to push collectors and investors to higher margin "rare" coins instead of bullion.

Superior International Crooks?
Not only do Superior steal some of their best coin photographs from us, they also treat their customers as suckers.

Baird of London Superior (goldline.co.uk)
Is there any connection between the two goldlines?
Yes, they both use coin photographs pirated from our websites!

Viral Marketing
We tried a Google search for "Top Reasons to Invest in British Crown Coins", with the quotation marks, and Google reported about 28,200 results. It seems that Superior or their P.R. people aggressively use viral marketing to get their name noticed.
