Steam Game Covers

I was curious, not knowing much about the legal side of this, if Steam Covers could get in trouble for taking donations? I was wandering considering almost, if not, all user content is made up of other companies resources.

Or is this kind of like the rowdy image boards where some how a legal line is drawn where the owners are not responsible for what the users upload? I would think with you being the owner of the site and having uploaded images, that would remove that option.

Hi Zeathy, It's illegal for me to charge for any of the content on Steam Covers because I am not the copyright owner. Everything on this site is completely FREE to all users and I don't even have "nag" screens/pop-ups asking you to "click here" before you download a cover.

As far as donations are concerned, that's completely voluntary and not illegal. Those donations go towards server costs and software/hardware that I need to keep the site running NOT for the content. I hope this answers your question.
