eBay user Nadlen872012 using stolen image on eBay again

nadlen872012 of boston, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom, stole our 2004 4 Minute Mile 50 pence coin photograph to use on eBay, without our permission, to try to sell his own. Totally dishonest. Image theft is endemic on eBay, and most sellers appear not to care whether their buyers are deceived.

eBay Copyright Thieves
Many eBay vendors use our coin photographs to sell inferior quality coins on eBay. These eBay members are dishonest and should be avoided.
We believe eBay profits from IP rights infringements (copyright theft), and does so knowingly, only removing infringing items reluctantly, if at all.

What’s Wrong?

We invest a great deal of time, effort, and cost into creating some of the best photographic coin and gold bar images on the internet. We strongly object when lazy and dishonest people decide to use them without a by your leave or thanks, doing so in competition with us. It is always possible, even likely, that sellers who steal photographs do not own a similar item, and have the intention to totally defraud potential buyers.

Copyright theft is dishonest. In this instance the seller has used many images. We recommend you avoid doing business with dishonest dealers. The vendor is not only cheating us by stealing our copyright images, he is fraudulently or ignorantly misleading and deceiving all potential buyers. Gaining pecuniary advantage by deception is the definition of fraud.

Sample Listing:

The Four Minute Mile.                             Roger Bannister made sporting history by achieving a feat which previously had been considered physically impossible – to run a mile in under four minutes. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Bannister’s world breaking record the 50p coin for 2004 bears a design depicting the runner’s stride, symbolising strength and determination.

Running a mile in less than four minutes. However, his achievement was as much a triumph of the human spirit as of sporting success.
Physiologists considered the feat physically impossible, believing that the body couldn’t cope with the strain of running such a distance in so short a time, However, Roger Bannister, himself a medical student, was determined to prove the experts wrong. By studying scientific training methods, in addition to his physical training, he took up the challenge to rewrite the record books.
On 6th May 1954 Roger Bannister realised his ambition. He finished the race in 3 minutes 59.4 seconds, stumbling to the ground as he crossed the line. Later he recalled “It was only then that the real pain overtook me. I felt like an exploded flashlight with no will to live; I just went on existing in the most passive physical state without being unconscious”
The fiftieth anniversary of Roger Bannister’s accomplishment is commemorated on the fifty pence for 2004. Designed by sculptor James Butler, the design symbolises the running of a race and concentrates on outstanding achievement and the strength of the human spirit.

All 50p coins after 1997 carry the fourth portrait obverse design by Ian Rank-Broadleyhead, inscription ELIZABETH II DG REG F D 2004.
