--- Quote from: tjwoosta on September 30, 2015, 03:52:19 PM ---Just trying to figure out why there is an incentive to prevent the covers from being accessed in bulk, sorry if I came off confrontational. Honestly I don't really care what you do either way, I decided to just mirror the site to get them. Not very efficient, but better than hunting them down one by one by hand. --- End quote --- From experience, 99% of people who request some way to download every single cover are planning to sell the covers for profit. Very few people own every single game, and therefore it's rare for any one person to actually need every single cover. Therefore, there is no method to download every cover at once. |

What about rom collectors? They need cover art too ;) |

Would you all be opposed if I mirror the site, fuzzyrename the covers to match the corresponding roms, then archive and upload them to a public tracker? Maybe a couple different sets, one with all the images bulk cropped to get seperate fronts and backs |

We are about collecting the physical media, and preserving the artwork - not piracy. However, were not naive enough to think we can stop anyone doing it. As far as I'm concerned, if I put something out there on the net, I give up any attachment to it. Fill your boots, but not with a clean conscience. That isn't why I create covers. |

Best way to preserve the artwork is to make it widespread no? |
