@Wahyudinata Well then go ahead and scan your cover art. Process it through paint or GIMP, make it look awesome yourself, and then host your cover. We have spent many hours perfecting raw scans that people have contributed so that a perfect cover is available. I say, if you want to make it easier to scan rather than add "Created by: Shenske" or "Created by: BadChad", then go somewhere else. Even on our site here we acknowledge who made what cover. Description: Custom Cover Format: NTSC Created by: Shenske Region: United States Case Type: DVD Case - Standard That was extremely hard to add. 5 seconds compared to the 10 minutes it would take to get the cover (if that is you have it), scan it, fix it up (which the 10 minute time frame would not fit into fixing the scan up), upload it to a site, post the finished product. Somehow :o, I think you are right!! That does sound a lot easier! |

i don't know - seems to be damned if you ask, damned if you don't. as far as i'm concerned once a cover is uploaded (mine included) it's public property - do what you want with it, but i'd prefer you weren't making profit from it. Your gaming site doesn't really interest me, but anything that benefits the gaming community as a whole is a good thing IMO. |

I think it's just common courtesy to ask for a permission to use something that's not mine, since the covers are actually public property, I will go ahead and use them, with the link back thecoverproject.com. Thank you. |

I guess if people don't want covers used then they shouldn't upload in the 1st place. Not trying to be controversial here anyone, so please don't start getting emotional - just voicing an opinion. |

Hi-res covers would be an unnecessary strain on his servers. If he really wants to use our stuff, that's his problem really. |
