Hi WMF Analytics,

In my web searches in the past few months I am seeing an increasing number of websites that have republished Wikimedia content, sometimes in ways that I suspect are in violation of trademark and/or Creative Commons licensing rules. (My guess is that these sites make money through advertising that they place on their sites.) Has WMF observed any negative effects in web traffic that can be attributed to other websites reusing Wikimedia content and/or trademarks?

It might be interesting if WMF can obtain statistics from web search providers regarding how many times users click on search engine links to sites that reuse Wikimedia content and/or trademarks.
