I would send a message to JR, or really any member of the Eden staff. I've done this on a few occasions, when I've seen people uploading just random images.

I do think that just taking, and uploading the stock image should be banned, as doing so adds no value to the site. less

I would like to know though: What is the opinion on someone finding pics of a new addition on the manufacturer site that aren't available here and uploading? I've done it before, because the pictures that I uploaded here showed a more in depth view of the item.


I don't want to break the rules (even if there isn't officially a rule about it yet) but if I can upload a pic that will help someone see more about a new item I would love to help someone that way. less

I know there was a discussion posted not that long ago about what we should do if we see images that are not even of the specific product that had been uploaded by members.

I've come across a few product pages where users have uploaded images of the Eden stock photos.... So basically, they have saved the stock photo from the product page, and uploaded it to the product page (assuming for points). This should be reported to someone, right? less

This is just my guess on this matter.

I imagine that Eden would prefer we only post pictures that WE own the copyrights to. This would be only pictures we have personally taken. Just like in the video review program, Eden prefers you only use music or images in your video that are yours legally or that are in the public domain. Lots of people use current music that is technically illegal, but Eden doesn't police the website. They're not going through every video review & removing any that have copyrighted music or images... so you can get away with it in that sense. However, Eden has been very clear - if the reviewer ever gets in trouble over the copyright issue, Eden will not help them with it.

My guess is the User Added Photo situation is pretty similar. They'd prefer users add photos that are either in the public domain or taken by the actual user. They can't police every single product page to take down copyrighted images, but if a user gets into trouble over the issue, don't expect Eden to help you or back you up. Plus, any clearly farming use of the feature has been dealt with once they're aware of it.

Again, this is all a guess, but it is based on their video review guidelines... and there's quite a bit of overlap (legality-wise) between videos and photos. less
