You know, Hisham, it's nice that the WMF takes this seriously but we
might be over blowing it a tad too far. The WMFs policies work really
well in a 1st world environment where there is great sensitivity to
copyright and violations. In India, it's a different kettle of fish
and we need to treat it as such.
feeling Same. Treat it like usual copyright violations happening in
wikipedia, and take precautionary steps. Disabling Leaderboad etc
seems to be little overstretched act. I wonder, how we missed
addressing Copyvios at all in the programme plan?
