I've seen CoolCat repeatedly accused of copyright infringement but the
ones I've reviewed I've found that those accusations lacked substance.
 He's involved in one of the more contentious edit wars (Kurd issues
in Turkey) that we have running right now and there are some people
who will stoop to underhanded techniques to "win".  Apparently,
alleging copyright infringement is a very effective technique to
silence your opponents.  And it seems that we're playing right into
that strategy.
