[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3459835, member: 78298"]The copyright laws are nebulous. His claim that he owns the rights to his image may be true, but also unenforceable if he never filed the paperwork and fee to copyright said image, which I doubt he did. Not trying to get banned here, just my 2 cents. I have filed copyright papers and paid fees in the past, for my own work, and then for a company that I worked for. But this was many years ago and I am sure the rules have changed since then. While I may miss his knowledge of our hobby, I don't miss the abrasiveness. There was a post where a 1970 S was in a holder and sold as a small date, when it had every marker for a large date and not 1 single marker for a small date. And he insisted it was a proof small date, but photos of a proof small date proved that to be false and he still insisted it was a small date. When you are wrong and keep spouting that you are right, that doesn't help new collectors trying to learn the differences.[/QUOTE]
