To clarify, when I say "obviously" I mean exactly that: obviously. As in, I unzipped the bundle containing someone's submission and found myself staring at a bunch of files that scream out "Look at me! I was pirated!" It's up to submitters to determine their own compliance, and we give the benefit of the doubt except in cases where a violation is utterly clear. Submissions that are candidates for an award will get a closer look to verify T&C compliance before being formally selected for an award, but we're not running around disqualifying any submission that includes an MP3 or anything like that.
