Hi Lennart, 

Thank you for calling this out.   You raise an extremely valid point.   I have asked Luis to follow this project, so I am including him here so he can follow.   I'm also including Michelle, who historically has been dealing with these kinds of reports for legal.    

Appreciate your raising the issue, 

Geoff

+1 on SJ's comment, and I think Pete made some excellent points on the talk page. For instance: How would this affect the legal team's paid staff time if we place a big red button under each image? I have cc:ed Geoff since he may not be aware of the question.

But I would also like to say that this is very well worth checking out. This is the template that is suggested right now (feel free to edit):
