Wait a second. The pictures that went in *were* legitimate consumer catalog
photos -- from the sheet catalog/brochure someone got in a copy of a Technic
set at a store in the UK, and from one other.
Several people said that they seemed to remember year-2000 SW pix showing
up in the Lugnet/Pause DB right after they appeared on rebelscum.com, and
wondered why that was OK. That immediately made me start thinking I must've
done something wrong somewhere along the line.
But it's easy to get confused. Recall that rebelscum.com had several
different sets of pictures: First, there were scans of some illegally
obtained color photocopies of prototypes...that was, when, September? But
later, around October 21, the legitimate scans appeared. There were also
some more a few days earlier on the 15th, and some others on the 8th.
Checking the image-upload logs in the Lugnet/Pause DB, the first image to
go in for 7134 (A-wing Fighter™) was Oct 21 18:27:11 EDT 1999. This was
actually 13 days after the first scans to appear on rebelscum.com, and 6
days after the first Technic catalog scans to appear there (the Battle
Droid and others).
Whew! So I was all worried about nothing. Now I can go back to sleep...
For a few hours there, I almost thought that I'd accidentally put in the
scans of the color photocopies (that would've been a bad thing, IMHO).

p.s. Kevin Loch put up scans of the U.S. catalog on November 9. He found
that in a copy of 7130 Snowspeeder™.
