If not, is there a group of people somewhere who chase up copyvios like
this?
I suppose the Free Software Foundation would be the body responsible for
chasing up copyright violations, but, if they are anything like almost
every
other non-profit in the world, they probably don't have the time nor the
resources to do so.
The individuals whose work is the object of the violation (i.e., the
editor
who uploaded the photo) could also chase up the copyvio by means of a
private lawsuit, but obviously that isn't going to happen.
It happens. It should be a last ditch. Last decade, when I was chasing up
problems on articles or encouraging standard HTML, most sites did hav a
webmaster account, even if it was not serviced. On rare occasions, I could
hit C on my browser (Lynx) and get the owner of a page addressed in my
e-mail software. Lawyers should not enter the equation unless you hav no
clue that the problem exists (and there are legal foundations that check
these things if you read
http://bit.ly/hZsWF -- RE: When copyright paranoia
isn't ), or unless you ran out of clues about what to do about a problem.
