A suggestion, and I'm sure this will ensure that you have zero copyrighted content submitted within your image database or atleast copyrighted images at a minimum is by enforcing a rule that only image sets that have been designed by the author can be submitted? and maybe graphics that the author as allowed other people to freely distribute with the member having to link back to the source.

Anyway, I'm quite "positive" this suggestion is very sound and should be discussed and the good thing about this suggestion is that you don't have to wait for 3.8 to come along.

That rule is in place - hence our copyright rule. I know your all tired of hearing it - but we don't have the time to check every single image, style, and modification for copyright infringement. Especially when the original is not as easy to find. Members usually come across these much easier because a) they are using it and know the original source, b) know of the original source, but aren't using it, and c) they are the original authors.

If vB.org were to check every single modification for copyright infringement before it was 'submitted', I guarantee that many users would be feed up as it would take so long.
