Melbourne Bitter | 46 comments Are we violating any copyright by posting book cover scans from older books that we own on this site?

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments Not that I am aware of, a good number of the covers are from people scanning what they own.

Fair use applies when the scan or photo is one you have created.

(Cover images from other sources can have additional issues, which is why we only allow them from non-bookseller sites. And Amazon-owned ones.)
