[QUOTE="Andrew McCabe, post: 7590576, member: 90666"]Yes. It's your image absolutely 100%. I have an idea. Why not now also sell the image to the person who bought the coin from you. $10 say. And if he doesn't want to pay, threaten to sue the new owner of your ex-coin if he ever uses your image online. This brings you in line with what many German dealers do. I don't really think you shd do this but it does reinforce the point that the image you took is absolutely 100% yours and the buyer of the coin has no right to use it. The ethical problem lies with the buyer of the coin (not to use your image, or to get your permission or even buy the image). There's zero ethical issues on your side. Indicentally my own coin images on Flickr are almost without exception Creative Commons Attribute Non Commercial In other words anyone can use any of the thousands of images Ive uploaded on Flickr, for any non commercial use as long as they atrribute me.
