High-resolution scans of every page of a recently published bestselling
graphic novel? The current U.S. #1 album as Ogg files? A full-length

install CD image, with key?
In general, something that anyone would be expected to recognize
immediately and that no-one could possibly assume to have been released
under a free license without extraordinary evidence.
