It's okay 4 me. Let's give the cops the guy's IP and that's it... I'll
propose to pms to publish a guide telling people in BIG black capitals that
whatever they do, they do it at their own personal risk. And that they
should better get themselves a lawyer before uploading pics :) The rest will
simply be a translation of the @ en.wiki policy. Since it's the bigger
edition, it's also got to have the huger amount of pics. And if they
survived with their policy so far, it means that we can survive, too.
