Cover art for bootlegs
by James Le Cuirot-2

Rate this Message:
I have a Russian bootleg release of Iron Maiden's Dance of Death. The
cover on it was (don't have it to hand anymore) so convincing that I didn't even know it was a bootleg until I found out that the extra track "Pass the Jam" shouldn't be on there. This release is in MB but it doesn't have any cover art assigned to it. Since the cover art was identical, I could relate it to an Amazon ASIN but I'm guessing that wouldn't be very popular? Or is that okay? If not, can I just link it to some identical image from archive.org?

ASIN linking yields more than just cover art. According to http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Amazon_Relationship_Type, "The purpose of the Amazon relationship is to provide cover images, but also additional information for releases." Amazon ARs are voted against and regularly removed from the MB database when it is found that the ASIN does not match the MB release.

Whoops, so caught up in the Amazon question, I forgot the other half.
As far as I know, linking to cover art through Archive.org is acceptable, though at some times controversial. FWIW, I'd personally be okay with it.
