Quoted from CactusJack:Anyone know what IPDB's policy is on taking photos off the internet (Like from Ebay auctions without watermarks)? The German version is not posted on IPDB.
The IPDB requires the photographer's permission before they will post pictures of a game. In the case of unusual/rare games where the images are ephemeral — eBay auctions, Craigslist ads — you can send the link to the IPDB (http://www.ipdb.org/contact.html) and they will work to obtain the photographer's permission and then add the pictures to the game's entry.
