I am not really convinced. In many cases, the material stayed in many versions and we should not delete them just for this reason. As for removing specific parts of text, developers are really not keen to do that. I think I had a couple of requests in the year and it was never done. So, we should not make people believe it is just simple to ask and do.
I'd rather that people forget about a bit of infringment lost in history, than seeing the board list flooded with people requesting complete removal :-)

I think it would be better to have some sort of link so that "if you are the copyright owner of infringing material and would like it removed, click here....". We shouldn't be making it difficult for people to get material they own removed from the history.
And in many cases we can quite easily remove material infringing someone's copyright from the page history, by using the selective undelete feature. The only problem area is where the copyright-infringing material has been incorporated into many revisions of an otherwise legitimate article since then.
