There are two problems with letting just anybody upload images:
- Copyright law is very complex. Most people don't understand it.
- Most people *aren't aware* that they don't understand it.
Isn't that a problem with letting just anybody add text, too?
Not really. I think it's a product of the public school system, but people generally understand that taking somebody else's writing and passing it off as their own is wrong, even if they don't understand that it's a copyright violation. The same can't be said of images.
