Hi Steve,

That is probably a reference to me. I was "borrowing" their photos for show & tell earlier on the Luger Forum. I still do not understand how an outfit that wants to take your money will not let you, easily, download their photos for your purchase documentation.

Last Reno show I attended, Ralph Shattuck told me the story, in reference to using photos on the PIA site, that "we" (his word...) just collected a $ 10K settlement from some collector that was using their photos on the Internet.

I also left a little joke message in the PIA Guest Book area that said "...This means you too, Ralph...".

Ralph's story did impress upon me :

1. It was a little warning in my direction to stop using their photos publically. Since then, I just use a hot link to their web site on the Luger Forum.

2. Confirmed to me Ralph's business and financial interest in the PIA outfit.
