To ray, you have a point, if it is a 3rd parties copyright, it is their fight. Generally though I don't like the thought of that ability being used to undelete stuff that is not helpful to this project and creates these sorts of distractions, but it is now his fight.
I agree mostly with these sentiments. If there was a case to be made, I would argue that it should be presented as "using the admin tools in a way likely to bring the project into disrepute".
There has been no breach of our copyright policy, as the content was not posted on Wikipedia. I do not recall ever taking on-wiki actions against a user for breaching the GFDL on another website.
As far as I am concerned, this is a minor, if rather stupid, abuse of the tools. Trout-slapping, rather than arbitration, seems in order.
