Hello everyone, I'm new here but I love the site. I was looking at the covers available and I noticed that there's quite a few missing that I have. I also have a pretty good scanner and can upload things in 300 or 600 dpi. When I signed up I was worried by the sentence "You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material," because isn't cover art copyrighted? If someone could clarify this for me I'd be very grateful. I don't want to break any laws or rules or anything.

Never noticed that... :o

Anyway SO FAR nobody here has gotten in trouble by scanning (600DPI, moire removal  preferred) and posting them here.

The whole premise of the site is to post your covers.  The disclaimer is more geared towards not posting links to warez, ROM's, ISO's, BIOS files, etc.

Almost all covers have a copyright. We aren't selling the covers or making any kind of profit off of them.

Thanks for the answers everyone :) I have scanned every cover I have that I wasn't able to find on the main site. I was wondering what's the best site to use to upload them because from what I've seen you can't upload photos to the forums directly and the main site's uploads are "offline for the moment." Thanks again everyone!

Mediafire and box.com are the best I think.

Hey dude, welcome to TCP!  There are some covers hosted on this site that were before any quality assurance was put into place (mind you, please take into account of scanners 15 years ago as well and how poorly they scanned).  From what I can gather, uploading is currently broken, but what you would be providing right now would be RAW scans (like raw, uncooked meat).  To upload and host them to the site, they would need to be meticulously cleaned via Photoshop, which then the Admins / Mods here will overview and accept/reject.  There are unfortunately way too many covers being submitted at one time and far too little (freelance / not paid) administrators on here that they unfortunately cannot critique privately why a cover was rejected.

That said, for RAW scans (as they won't be hosted here), Mediafire, box.com, other hosting platforms would work great into getting the cover out there for people to attempt to clean up.  Also, thanks in advance for the contributions, it's awesome to have someone so new already contributing.  Every little bit helps!

Okay everyone, thank you very much. I made a post over in Raw Scans (I hope that's the right spot) that has links to all of the scans I did and uploaded to Mediafire. I was even able to scan some of my sibling's games too!

Absolutely correct place.
