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 reputable
company would resort to stealing images from their competitors?
There is a copyright notice at the bottom of every page on The House Jan Van Cutsem Brussels' website, so they can't claim innocent infringement or ignorance. Copyright infringement is theft.

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 The House Jan Van Cutsem Brussels could not be bothered to take the time and trouble of photographing any gold coins or bars for themselves, or paying a professional photographer to do it for them, so decided it was quicker and easier to steal ours instead. They probably also thought we would not notice.
For these reasons, we conclude that The House Jan Van Cutsem Brussels 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, your precious metal or your money?
It is also likely they did not own a Credit Suisse 1 kilo gold bar to photograph, and are simply trying to impress potential punters that they are a substantial outfit rather than a dodgy cowboy outfit which stoops to stealing photographs from its professional competitors.
They even made a mess of our photograph by failing to allocate its correct dimensions.
Tandem - On Your Bike!
The English language version of their website suggests that we are a tandem, we say "on yer bike!"
Cutsem - Is this the correct spelling of the owner's name, or has he missed a letter out?
