You make really crucial mistakes in your argumentation. We have no legal 
problem to view the images. We have a legal problem to provide them. If 
you implement it as opt-out then you would rip off the rights of the 
readers. A complete fail. But again: We talk about the opt-in image 
filter feature and that the core of the second largest project isn't 
willed to accept it.
