Yes, looking at the average understanding of the legal issues among the membership, and even among seasoned veterans, I think the "lazy consensus" is perhaps too optimistic. Not that there is any reason to assume "a member or officer to not cheat", but that a combination of "didn't know better" and "didn't think about it" can create unintentional "IP Clearances". AFAIU, it is an important issue to get this right.
