I don't understand why your users, who I do not believe profit from this site, have an incentive to post content they take from other sites.
I have found multiple postings on this site, which I know to be hijacked from other sites. In one case the hijacked image, was mapped to the the wrong block of code (they were both hijacked from the same site). Does this site encourage theft, in some way? The rules disallow the posting of content, for which the poster does not own the rights? So why so much stolen content? What is it about this site, and its users, that leads to so much of this behavior? It does hurt the credibility of the site. |

As everyone else said, we need examples. It's impossible for the Design Staff to know every image and layout on the internet. We're not robots. I think we're actually pretty good when it comes to preventing stolen content from getting through, but there are just some things we don't know. If anyone catches a mistake, we go back and reject it. There's only so much that could be done.
