Would the original poster be liable in the UK for each copy made though? I don't have a clear answer on this yet. By releasing something under a free licence, am I saying: "you have the right to copy this" or am I saying "you have the right to copy this subject to applicable laws"? The second seems to make sense, but then why delete copyvio images if the images are subject to the law anyway?
I'm not entirely sure (IANAL etc.) but surely there is a chance that, if the person taking the photo/film was legally restrained from offering it under a particular licence (in this case, one that allowed commercial use), then any such licencing would be invalid.
Cynical
