Discogs reduces the quality of submitted images by an incredible amount, they're still presentable but in no way hi-res, so no one will be able to use them to make bootlegs. They will however look decent on a screen and be accurate for the listing.
That is so true. Any bootleg labels printed using Discogs reduced resolution scans would be blurry and easily recognised as fake. But on screen they are fine if the original upload was high quality. This is a win/win for collectors AND "younger generations" or anyone who wants to do research online. And we 90 year old G45 fiends (who actually care enough about these things to be bothered participating) get to enjoy the glorious high resolution eye candy.
