Please, tell me why do we care about such a very unprobable, theoretical scenario, when we do not care about much more probable scenario of re-using hundreds of thousands of pictures about which use can be a life threat to many people in many countries? This is what a I am calling a result of group dogma on Commons, which tells that we must be totally unpractical strict with copyright issues and totally ignore all other legal treats. I mean for example that we do not care about sexually explicit pictures which is crime to even watch in Saudi Arabia and several other countries, and in US they cannot be legally exposed to children? You can also be senteced to death if you use a picture of Xi Jinping in offending way in China and even in Poland when you use a picture of Bronisław Komorowski (our president) which was released by his office under CC-BY-SA in offendig way, you can be sentenced to 2 years in prision... And these are quite probable scenarios, not like Israeli case which is in fact very theoretical one with probability to happen less than 0.00001 % IMHO... -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.cbmm.lodz.pl/work.php?id=29&title=tomasz-ganicz _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
