In some way, the torn apart mosaic would be a nice visual indication
of the rate of content loss we suffer from copyvios. ;-)

I agree with you that it's good manners to check usage before
deleting, but I still prefer deleting a copyvio to leaving it alone.
Redundant and "low quality" images are another matter, though.
