Perhaps you missed this when you read the rules here . . .

Members should do everything possible to determine who the creator is and give that person credit as the Artist when they upload.

I would say you should be banned from all cover sites. If you check the rules on the sites you downloaded from you'll find a warning about uploading their covers to other sites as well. You must have the artist's permission to upload their covers elsewhere.

That would be a little bit on the harsh side to be banned from all cover sites for something like that
yeah a person should try to get permission before uploading someones else's work but if you do not
know who the creator was then you just don't know period.

Just put unknown as the creator now as for myself anyone can use or upload any of my work without
having to have my permission it just makes me feel good to know that someone likes it enough to use
it or thinks it is good enough to be uploaded someplace. Wink

I agree with your point of view. I accept that any artwork I create and upload can and will get "passed around".

I can also understand someone wanting to be asked if their work can be utilized in other ways. I think in general one should ask first as a sign of respect and if you cannot determine who it is you should ask then you just shouldn't do it.

I don't know how many have noticed, but I have never had a rule on this site against uploading to other sites.

There are a few reasons for this:

1. I have been around the cover scene for a longtime and I can attest to the fact that most of the sites that object to material on their site being uploaded to other sites have no problem breaking their own rule when it benefits them.

2. There are a group of sites that want to work together and stop material from being shared. The problem is this group only represents a small number of the total number of cover sites out there. Unless the rule is enforced by "ALL" cover sites, it wouldn’t be worth the effort. Believe me, if someone wants to upload, they will either upload to your site or find some other site.

3. All of the images used to create covers and labels are copyrighted by the studios. Whether the Artists like it or not, they don't own any of their creations, the studios own them.

The other major problem with sites that want to try and enforce this kind of rule is that it encourages them to go on witch-hunts by asking site admins and owners to provide information about members they “think” are uploading material from their site to yours.

I do ask that members do their best to identify the original artist whenever possible.
