Please don't do this.
I routinely use VGMdb front cover scans (with FULL credit, as requested in the "About Us" section of the site) to fill in the gaps over at RateYourMusic's database, or use this site as reference whenever I try to do a correction there. Likewise, whenever I find something that isn't on VGMdb, I add it here too.
Locking the large size images to trusted editors is going too far. The current system (normal images for registered users, thumbnails for guests) works well.
Very few companies or people actually care about artwork scans as long as nobody is distributing pirated copies of their music along with them. Hell, you're promoting the music, and link to sites that sell them, legally.
