I can imagine a bot comparing photos found by Google (ie. comparing hashes) but not a system extracting some kind of unique feature that says an image is a copyright violation. So how do you imagine ORES being used for copyright violations? I can't see how a copyright violation would have any kind of feature that is exclusive? The argument is quite simple; I as a photographer for a newspaper could take the exact same pictures as I as an amateur photographer. (I have photographed a lot for various newspapers.) Using the same equipment, and me being me, what is different?

IMO commons need either a Clue Bot NG for new uploads or ores support for images that might be copyright violation, or both.
Best

Just the active community itself is too small, compared with the amount of material it has to deal with.

Is the shortage of admins due to a lack of people willing or capable to
do
the job, or increasing difficulty in obtaining the bit?

Well, Actually, at the moment it looks they are all undeleted.
The good habit - which I was keeping when organizing several
GLAM-related
mass uploads - was to create on Commons project page describing what it
is
intended to be uploaded, preferably in English. Then you can create a project template to mark all uploads with them.
See: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Partnerships
Despite practical issue of avoiding unnecessary clashes with Common's admins - creating template and project page helps to promote you
project
across Wikimedia communities and may inspire others to do something
similar.
Commons is indeed quite hostile environment for uploaders, but on the
other
hand it is constantly flooded by hundreds of copyright violating
files a
day:
See the list from just one day:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/2019/05/01
so this hostility works both ways - Common's admins have to cope with aggressive hostile copyright violators every day, and after some time - decide to leave or became being hostile themselves... and the other
issue
is decreasing number of active admins and OTRS agents.
I think - sooner or later - all this system - uploads - screening
uploads
by admins, and OTRS agreements - needs deep rethinking.

Hello all,
There seems to be a dispute between the Outreach and the Commons
components
of The Community, judging by the article "Wikimedia Commons: a highly hostile place for multimedia students contributions" at the Education Newsletter
https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/News/April_2019/Wikimedia_Comm...
As far as I can understand it, some students on an Outreach project uploaded some rather well-made video material, and comeone on Commons deleted them because they appeared to well-made to be student projects
and
so concluded they were copyright violations. But some rather odd
remarks
were made "Commons has to fight the endless stream of uploaded
copyrighted
content on behalf of a headquarters in San Francisco that doesn't
care."
and "you have regarded Commons as little more than free cloud storage for images you intend to use on Wikipedia ".
Perhaps the Foundation needs to resolve this dispute?
