Yes, we see lots of posts, here and elsewhere, with an image from an auction or sale, posted by the buyer who writes &quot;this is what I just bought; has not arrived yet; image taken by the seller&quot;. Strictly speaking, even that is a violation of copyright, but one that a seller is unlikely to object to. A dealer would usually object to, and take legal action against, a competitor who uses somebody else&#039;s photo for his own business, without the photographer&#039;s consent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some lawyers (I am not a law expert) may argue that a simple photo of a common coin is below the so-called <i>threshold of originality, </i>and would thus not be covered by copyright. Not a good idea though to assume that this applies to every coin photo which one &quot;grabs&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Bottom line: Post a link, or make sure you can use the image.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
