But its also a legal issue, because those who own the copyright on copyvio
images can take legal action, and have certainly tried in the past
([[WP:OFFICE]] is here for a reason!).

raising red flags if it exceeds a certain number.
I just wish the bot would stop telling me that the images Ive uploaded
that dont have a known source (and were released under Sharealike 1.0
which doesnt require a source) are candidates for deletion.
We don't allow unsourced images of any sort on Wikipedia. That's as
much a moral issue as a legal one.
It's not a legal issue at all. It's a moral issue in that it forces
people to identify themselves in order to contribute images to the
encyclopedia.
I don't know about your morality, but my morality dictates that I
*not* reveal the identity of someone who creates an image and asks not
to be identified.
