If we're getting a string of these hit and upload burst people, some
checkusering *may* be in order (I don't *know*, but it might be) to
see if they're repeat offenders. Remembering that the recentchanges
table only goes back a limited time (one to four weeks on dev whim and
system resources). So if you have a string of recent hit-and-run anon
uploaders, please leave a list of usernames on WP:RFCU with a note
that I suggested checking for persistent offenders might be in order -
insisting on dropping us in the copyright poo is not nice or suitable
behaviour.
