[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 24711657, member: 59677"]The laws and customs of your village are not the laws and customs of the entire world. Copyright law is one of the more obtuse and obscure areas out there and you infringe on it daily. It's all fun and games until somebody drops a lawsuit on your head and you end up paying thousands of dollars in legal fees. So it's best to TRY and stay on the right side of the law. OP used a Tunisian coin. The laws of the country of Tunisia apply. OP seems to have had a passing thought that because the coin was (apparently) minted by the Paris Mint, the laws of France applied. They don't. While it's unlikely that the country of Tunisia will sue OP in a US court (assuming he's US-based) (or UK or Australia or wherever) and thus the risks are pretty low, when you go to reproduce something at a print shop, they ask if you have the rights to reproduce it because they don't want to risk contributory infringement.[/QUOTE]
