What's Wrong?

• First, and most obvious. Westminster Mint Inc have taken and used our copyright images without our consent or prior knowledge. This is a clear breach of our Intellectual Property Rights. We call it image theft, and it is dishonest. It is also unprofessional.
  If the company is an important well established bullion dealer, then surely it could afford to take its own photographs, buy them from an image library, or commission them from a professional photographer. Instead it appear to have chosen to steal our pictures. Apart from exposing them as cheapskates, it is unfair competition.
  
• Westminster Mint Inc expect their customers to trust them with the storage of high value assets, yet they cannot be trusted not to steal images.
