High-resolution scans of every page of a recently published bestselling 
graphic novel?  The current U.S. #1 album as Ogg files?  A full-length 
Theora stream of a movie currently in theaters?  A Microsoft Office XP 
install CD image, with key?

In general, something that anyone would be expected to recognize 
immediately and that no-one could possibly assume to have been released 
under a free license without extraordinary evidence.
