Perhaps the Wikipedia:Copyrights page needs to be made stronger (http://tinyurl.com/yqplp). It might be useful to add a more noticeable link to this from the Main Page as well.
Secondly, we don't seem to have a translation of the GFDL yet, so people might be confused about what they can add. (http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_FDL). It would be great if people could be encuraged to work on this. http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/copyleft.html#translationsGFDL has guidelines on translating. So far they link to the Wikipedia versions for Romanian and Welsh. It would be great to have them linking to our Arabic version as well. :)

p.s. sorry for changing the name of the thread but Yahoo had scrambled it into meaningless characters.

So far it is not a real problem.. I know that I had deleted may articles "Created" by copying from copyrighted sites/material. But I think that it is not a serious problem yet.. Maybe the serious problem is that people fail to understand the meaning of copyrights, and that they have to respect it.. and fail to understand that validity of content in terms of information, and copyrights is as important as having content :)
