I think this is a very good idea. We're getting more and more of these
in the German Wp, too.
And also the number of copyright violations increases (like all other
statistical numbers - there might me a relation ;-)
So, someone (sorry, I forgot who) had the idea of placing the "Please
don't ad copyrighted material ..." passage _above_ the [Save] button for
not logged in users. I think this is also a good idea.
