You got it! I don't own the copyright to any of the LEGO images that TLG
has created -- I'm just hosting them as part of an informational database
for LEGO enthusiasts online (subject to my interpretation of TLG's "Fair
Play" policy*).
So even if I wanted to limit other people from re-using the images (which I
don't), I couldn't.

If someone does choose to any of the images on their own page, they do so at
their own risk -- it's an issue between them and TLG -- but presumably they
have read and understood TLG's policy. I can't grant or deny permission to
anyone to use the images...I can only make recommendations and point people
to TLG's stated policies...
