Not sure if you meant this how it sounds, but the English Wikipedia
community is acutely aware of copyright problems and have undertaken many,
many large and complicated cleanup tasks of the sort Marco described.
I think he meant that the English Wikipedia community is less aware of the
fact that we face these sorts of large-scale challenges in many other
languages as well. In other words, the antecedent to "them" is "issues on
the Dutch/Italian/etc. Wikipedia", rather than "copyright issues"
generally. Most people participating in other languages are reasonably
aware when major concerns surface from the English Wikipedia; people
participating only in English often haven't a clue about the concerns being
dealt with in other languages.
