Ruoak has said that links to art on an artist's own website may be linked to, but '''only''' if written permission to do so is requested and received from the artist or their representative. In such a case, that written permission '''must''' be published here in the wiki. -- [[User:BrianFreud|BrianFreud]] [2007-05-10:4:33EST]

Status: This is an official style guideline.


This is the whitelist for Has Cover Art At Relationship Type.

Official Relationship Type Whitelist

Attention.png Has Cover Art At Relationship Type is subject to special rules regarding what sites may and may not be linked.

Only those sites which have been whitelisted may be linked to. A link to any site not on the whitelist is not permitted.

  • Any edit to add a link to a site not on the whitelist should be voted down.
  • Any such link which has somehow already been added should be removed.

The process for adding a site to the whitelist for this relationship type can be found on the proposals page. Do not edit this page to add a new site to the whitelist without following the official process for whitelisting a site.

Using the Internet Archive (archive.org)

As of December 8th, 2009, linking to absolutely any image on the Internet Archive is allowed. This includes any image hosted at the Internet Archive and those that have been archived using the Wayback Machine. However, if MusicBrainz receives a request to remove a link to an image from a copyright owner, MusicBrainz will comply.

If you believe that MusicBrainz violates your copyright by linking to an image at the Wayback Machine, notify MusicBrainz, the issue will be addressed as quickly possible.'
