They can call it what they want, I am saying 

 But I don't know copyright law, perhaps I am wrong.

Ah got it. Yeah that is basically what I'm questioning, can they even copyright an image of things they don't own and have been previously copyrighted by someone else. Seems like the answer would be no but I'm not a lawyer. I know they can charge for images of something they don't own, they've been doing it for years.

Isn't copyright I don't think, I don't know copyright law.

Protected content perhaps.

If CGC has such concern, I'm sure they'll watermark the images like every other company that insists they own images.

Making people pay for images of their own property isn't something new, although in this context I find it a hilarious cash grab.

When you try to save, the pop up window on the CGC site literally says "this image is copyrighted"

So the images are being copyrighted by CGC, that is the message that pops up when you try to save. I'm sure this isn't a straightforward yes/no answer with arguments to be made but I wonder if CGC can legally copyright something like this. Nothing in the picture belongs to CGC. The book and the case both belong to the submitter. The artwork in the picture belongs to the publisher. So... what exactly is CGC copyrighting?

Not sure - I couldn't lift the scans from CGC Verification with my computer. Someone else said they could do it with their phone.

Ah, that does limit its utility. But still better than no image and it will work as designed in terms of verifying what you're buying.

It has been true for the many that have posted about it, I have yet to see it happen to magazines though, but it looks to be true and may have happened to help with quality control, imo, as a few have already been posted that were caught to be fixed before they went out the door.

Bit of a looooong sentence  

Any idea when this started? Can't believe this isn't getting more press than it is. 

I just read on FB that CGC is now scanning all books and posting the scans to your submission... even if you don't pay for imaging. Can someone confirm if this is accurate? FB is an absolute treasure trove of misinformation so I'm not inclined to believe it. I do have some submissions in right now but not far enough along to see it in action if true.

alright getting tired of sitting on the floor and taking pics... that'll do it for today
