There are also many good contributers who choose not to obtain a login for one reason or another. I'd rather let these people upload files. Besides, if we block non-logged in uploads, our abuser will just get a login.
Google isn't going to get a login, and our upload page is still #2 on Google, which is how the junk uploaders are finding it. So new abusers won't get logins - they won't find Wikipedia to begin with.
