As various people have pointed out, the Copyright material has to 
actually be removed so that it is no longer distributed (rather that no 
longer actively used).

The point about accountability is well made though - perhaps the shun 
action should cause an entry in the timeline at the time the shun is 
effected, indicating the artifact that was shunned, the parent of the 
shunned artifact, and a comment (why it was shunned).

Regards,
