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.


I have always downloaded and rehosted the images I've used on my eBay
and other auctions.

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...
