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.

Who ever the admin is violated our copyright policies at the very least as I am sure he did not give the original contributor credit (that is assuming that the original contributor even has the right to post that).
