SPUI has repeatedly tagged

speedy it on that basis, so SPUI blanked it and added the copyvio
template. Sbekele self-identifies as Sophia Bekele, CEO of CBS
International, and therefore presumably the copyright owner. Since
this is user space, and the content is an "about us" bio, not
commercial content, I think that blanking and deletion are a bit
excessive. On the other hand, copyright is copyright I guess. What
does the panel think?
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/OTRS/en/Author%27s_claim_of_license is
the standard reply to "someone keeps tagging my material as copyvio,
but I wrote it, damnit"
Simply claiming to be someone doesn't magically mean everyone has to
assume you are them...
