I don't think that's a big concern: if somebody removes the (required) attribution, then that's a violation of copyright law and we would have to revert. It's the same as if somebody uploads copyrighted materials without permission: we are in violation and have to revert.
well, I think it's a big concern, because we have no guarantee that anyone will notice the removal, much less revert it.
Big or small, the concern that tomorrow somebody uploads copyrighted material and it goes unnoticed and is not reverted is precisely as big.
The reason I don't consider these two concerns as big is this: if the copyright holder ever complains, the copyright violations can always easily be fixed in no time.
