Gecko, I agree on the prices... at the end of the day, these are collector / gift sets not bullion!

Quote:he he put Australian coin on the images so people don't copy them and put them on ebay! They are not your images to watermark. Did you ask the originator of the images for permission to use or modify them? If not you are infringing their copyright. |

They are RAM promotional pictures for dealers to use! OK
Maybe people don't want me to share pre released products on the forum anymore?

Maybe people don't want me to share pre released products on the forum anymore? I am sure someone finds your information about soon to be released products useful so by all means keep posting it. However, you're not a RAM dealer and those are still not your images. Do you have permission from the RAM to modify them? Given that you probably downloaded them from the International Numismatics site have you actually read the relevant parts of their copyright or privacy policy? Quote:

If you don't want to ask their permission get a camera and take your own images. That's not that hard either. Edited by markn

the images are freely available (i.e. in the public domain) on the interweb and hard copy and as anyone interested enough to get to this forum would know, all coin designs, in an avatar or otherwise, belong, by law, to the respective copyright holder. sharing the joy of collecting with pictures between other interested collectors I call "personal, non-commercial use".

p.s which photos are yours? If they are from ebay like "ace111pig" I usually put a note for it. I only share info on the tutorial page and I never claim that images are mine. Just trying to make a page to help people to learn about coins and stuff. I did get a computer keyboard camera yesterday but still figuring out how to work it, hopefully I will be able to add better pictures to the tutorial page. Oh does anyone know who runs http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/ as I would love to work with them. |

If I were Markn, I would say no. IMHO the tone of your response indicates that you still fail to understand the issues surrounding copyright. You should, at the very least, familiarise yourself with the term 'attribution'. With regard to your (seemingly) insincere request, you should note that copyright owners do not always grant a blanket permission to use their personal material/images. If you have a particular need to use an image(s), you should ask permission to use that specific item(s), or failing that, at least attribute ownership. You should also note that such permission would not entitle you to put your own watermark on said material. |

While I agree with Australian Coin's sentiment of wanting to stop copies of an image that she felt some obligation to keep contained, perhaps the chosen implementation was a little heavy handed.
storm in a tea cup I say.

I would respect markn choice if he said no, don't know which photos were his? He would let me know. :) I thought I was being nice and cute asking pretty please, well I'm just a young girl maybe people don't think it was cute, oh well... And I never claim that other peoples photos were mine, putting Australian coin over the top just stops people from adding to ebay listings and having generic photos of coins shown. If they were my own picks they would have a super cool secret watermark in it. |

I am the co-author of the blog you mention and responsible for pretty much all of the images you see on there.

Oh super cool, I never knew it was you blog ♥ Sometime my coin friends give me a heads up for pre released stuff and I would love to let you know first so you can put it on your blog, as I use it as my no1 reference for cool coin info. p.s I have not copied any pics from the blog page that I know off. I normally use RAM promotional images, and some fill in from ebay. When I get the camera up and running properly I will update the $1 rams head page with my own pics as I have now almost collected the full series of counter-stamps, cant wait for the "A" then I won't have to use the RAM Consept art images. Markn do you still go to the ANDA shows, were you at the Melbourne one, just wondering if I have ever see you around :) |
