Wow very long but I worked myself through it ;)<br>
<br>
I understand that you have to make a difference between being a user
and a librarian for OCAL. Still some things I think you should consider
about the specific issue with freeclipartnow. The matter is that most
images are probably not in any way owned by the site owner. Why is that
highly likely? Cause he uses tiny jpgs and duplicats uploaded to OCAL
are vector based svgs. Its not always possible to vectorize an image
that small and get a good quality out of it. Like the blue bass guitar
I mentioned. Btw. here are the links for you to check it out. You can
also contact the uploader AJ<br>

I agree that cliparts from freeclipartnow are in many cases not
trustworthy, cause as you have mentioned they use stuff from disney and
so on. Thats why I said before you have to look at the clipart itself
and check if it is truly public domain or not. Just because it appears
on freeclipartnow doesn't necessarily mean it is not public domain. So
you can't simply take an uploaded clipart to OCAL and say "hey thats on
freeclipartnow I hide it". The uploader could still be the person who
made the image. Or freeclipartnow copied it from another website as
well (things he refuses other sites). <br>
<br>
I am an OCAL user cause I trust that most cliparts are truly PD. If I
find out its not so I will speak up, like I did in the past. Thats why
I use OCAL and not other sites. <br>
<br>
On the end I have to agree with you in the matter that you have to do
what you think is right or necessary for the survival of OCAL. I need
it :D<br>
