When a old dvd comes out with a new cover we are not aloud to update the cover to the online data base? That is correct rite? I ask this  because I didn't think we were aloud  do that, but we could do it to our personal profile's only. I ask this because I have a copy of Bat Man with the original cover and now the one online has a new cover on the same dvd.

The one that belongs in the Online DB is the cover on the original release date. 

Not the cover from the re-release.

If you submit your scan, and can show that it is the Original, then it should be accepted.

Right on, unfortunately we have a number of members who refuse to read or follow the contribution rules.
Maybe they can not understand the rules, after all in order get college loan money, colleges have lowered their standards and offering math and English for dummies and 101 science courses. I understand that the average IQ in the US is below 100 now, 97.

That's technically impossible because the definition of IQ = 100 is "the average IQ of the population"

Usually the scans will have a packaging design copyright date on them. I've used this a couple of times to prove my scans are the originals.

There are times when a DVD will be released with different packaging for different retailers, so this won't always work.  I have a DVD that I had in my hands before the "original release date", and I've had its cover scans declined because some voters insisted that it wasn't the original cover art, because it differed from what's already in the database.

My IQ was measured at 169 upon diagnoses of my aspergers.

The only question I have now is: Which cover do you contribute?
