Why don't we want to show them publically? Wouldn't that boost the 
confidence in the others, or at the very least warn end users to not use 
this particular one? Out of 30,000 + cliparts only a few would be so 
marked. But they would be visible. Currently there is no such indicator 
other than people's comments, and even then things that should be 
obvious, aren't. E.g. Sasuke from Naruto is a trademarked character, but 
it was downloaded quite a few times. Now, if it had a NonPD indicator 
that download amount *might *have been less.

That's the intent of the warning box anyway. I think it would be 
possible to only show it to Librarians, but I really don't see the sense 
in showing it to only select people, since a Librarian is really just 
like anyone else, except we have a broom and flyspray. I think a warning 
to the public is more valuable than an "Admin-eyes-only". Can you expand 
your comments and thinking on this issue, and let us know further in depth?

As for your list view / deleting suggestion, that sounds good, however I 
think there are different degrees of risk. I'm using

    * "pd_issue", "potential copyright violation" as the first step,
      where more investigation is needed or other CC licences ,these may
      or may not be on your list, depending on severity and type of the
      violation.
    * "copyright violation" for definite ones. These would be on your
      problematic list.

At the end of the day though, we are aiming for a clean library so, I 
don't yet know. Your way might be better, but I just think letting end 
users know the risk level on each clipart, while the clipart are under 
investigation, is a good thing. Preferably I'd like to do that through 
the website automatically, so that anonymous users can see the risk with 
the clipart. Or maybe that can be a registered users benefit?
