Really all we need to do is impliment a review process for uploaded media that way we address not only scope but copyright, derivative wroks, FOP, permission and licensing issues before the image is available for use, something like a flagged revisions. Providing it has an auto review for approved contributors so as not to create unmanagable back logs it should be a relatively fast process.
