[Clipart] Fishy...

[charles thomas]

Well it looks like that many of you like to check submissions to ensure the integrity of the clipart.

Is there an issue with just having it there? For example the big resume site "Monster" has a full disclaimer saying that it is not responsible for the action of others. Eg violation of copyright and many other caveats.

Given there is no issue with whats being hosted after uploads (As long as there is a full disclaimer in place like Monsters)

Could not the "Clipart submissions police" just put "Warning messages" next to the upload?

Not that it matters, but I've noticed that this clipart had more than
6000 downloads in less than 24 hours:

Weird...

And by the way, why do people keep submitting the same drawing over
and over when the collection already has it? How many identical copies
of Tux and the Brazilian flag do we need, really? The search box works
very well now, people should try it...
