<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7596362, member: 103207"]From all the posts on this subject. It appears there are some gray areas as to exactly what you can do or not do. Personally, I look at this subject in a few ways. If I own the coin and down loaded a picture of my coin from the dears site I don't believe that's a problem. I feel I can use the picture as a record for myself or to show friends. It's far safer to have pictures of coins I own at home than to have the coins sitting in my house. I don't think it's a problem if I down load pictures of coins I may be interested in or have questions about. Actually if a dealer started taking customers to court for down loading pictures of coins they bought from the dealer the dealer would basically be putting themselves out of business fairly quick. Word would get around fast in the market it wouldn't look good for the dealer and that's even if the dealer won the case. It's bad for business to come off as a jerk. However, I do agree with Kirispupis there is some legal issues related to use the pictures. I think it comes down to what is being done with the pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just to let people know most dealers don't have a problem with you down loading pictures of coins you bought. I've bought a few coins from dealers that take their pictures down as soon as the coin is sold. I've contacted those dealers and asked them to send me the picture for my records and not one dealer ever had a problem with sending me the picture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
