You care less about Wikipedia because some people on Commons aren't entirely sure of the law so see the need to go through standard procedure in order to decide what to do?

It's certainly a lil off topic for this list but it does raise some real questions about international law. Who breaks the law and when? In the UK viewing a picture online deems me to have created it. If I take a picture from commons which is about to be deleted and upload it from a country like the UK which has copyright laws to protect architects and Marvel comics but probably not in the instance would the picture have merit?
It reminds me of making tea on the Jewish Sabbath, transferring hot water from one vessel to another so that it isn't seen to be hot enough to cook the tea or coffee.
