<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7592115, member: 103207&quot;]Although, I don&#039;t claim to know any laws regarding photographs.&nbsp; If there is a copyright on a picture I believe you need to have authorization in writing from the owner of the photo.&nbsp; Personally, any coin I&#039;ve purchased that a picture exists I download it and keep it as a visual record.&nbsp; In my opinion any picture that was posted to be used to sell the coin that I own I consider mine to use as I see fit.&nbsp; I have posted a number of pictures here on Coin Talk that were of coins I&#039;ve purchased from Heritage or other dealers.&nbsp; This is no different than posting a picture of a car I own.&nbsp; However, where trouble can arise is if you use a picture of a coin that isn&#039;t yours to sell your own coins.&nbsp; That&#039;s false advertising unless you include a disclaimer.&nbsp; Basically, if a picture is posted online with no indication the picture has a copyright on it.&nbsp; You can use it as you wish as long as it isn&#039;t used to commit fraud.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
