Not forgetting the base villains who change tags to make it look like they're sharing their own work.
>I recently borrowed a batch of CDs, not all of which I had time to take proof photos for, so those at least will be posted without. For what it's worth, I never post anything I didn't rip myself, except if I have something someone requested & in those cases I would always annoy out resident troll by marking them NMR. :D

Those people who want cover illustrations, want cover illustrations.
Nobody in the world wants crappy tag-defaced "proof" shit, it gets
deleted immediately here as probably everywhere else as well.. If
you're going to upload cover art, at least make it cover art.
I'm grateful of course for those who who so generously share their
rips, I've discovered many, many interesting artists via their efforts
and uploads,
But nobody needs or wants that "proof" crap. Sheep behavior par
excellence.
