Another side of this coin is that if we (for example - I'm not 
advocating) said "no porn in clipart", it really wouldn't affect a large 
number of images.

Fact is, the vast majority of the images will be just fine. By setting 
up a standard, you are not severely crippling the library (whatever that 
standard might be).

Good point. People who feel more strongly about an issue (e.g. 
pornography) would be over-represented.

But we can draw a different line. For example, say that if the image is 
legal "almost everywhere" then it's ok. Just pick a reasonable 
definition of "almost everywhere" just to avoid a tiny minority from 
imposing censorship.

So we could say, "we will remove an image if you can show that it's 
illegal in enough countries to represent 3% of the world's population or 
more". You can argue about whether 3 is the best number. Personally I 
think any number is fine, as long as it's "small".


Cheers,
Daniel.
