legal compliance issues should be left to the official agents of the

The focus of the rest of us should be on how to make the best free
encyclopedia. Sure, this means not including copyright violations,
but not with the sense of urgency that some seem to be suggesting.
Copyviois disscourage people from going to the effort to create free content.
Such a focus would also imply that images which
aren't included in any
pages, and images which are only included on user pages (for
instance), are an even lower priority.
They are however easy targets. Dealing with boarderline fair use stuff
is a pain so we tend to focus on the easy stuff first in order than
limited rescources have the biggest impact.
