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.
