<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 2834032, member: 87737&quot;]I&#039;ll go as far as to say that any material can be used for educational purposes without recourse. &quot;Educational purposes&quot; has a very wide and liberal definition. Use of their image would be ok for coin club, school, or documentary works. The only caveat to that, and I&#039;m not sure either way, is if it is pulled from a page/website that states that standard &#039;any use or reproduction without the consent of...&quot;, etc., like what they say on Monday Night Football. Even though you claim them to be for educational purposes during an educational presentation, it could be argued that because there are club dues involved, and the presentation is a marketing tool to gain new members/subscribers, that the image was used for commercial gain. It&#039;s almost a gray area, but there are cases where news-type magazines used images without permission, and the courts decided that the goal of the magazine as a business entity is to gain new subscribers, and the content of a magazine is the reason people subscribe, so the&nbsp; use was for commercial purposes. (I think that makes sense the way I wrote it.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I would venture to say that an attorney might advise that gaining permission from GC would be the safest way, it is highly doubtful (IMHO) that GC would sue or issue a cease and desist, or that a court would find in their favor. Not removing or altering their logo is key, as you are making it clear whose image it is, and not trying to claim it as your own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
