Wikipedia:Copyright Blocks

Wikipedia is a project based on the concept of free content and the freedom to share and reuse resources. By its very nature, Wikipedia uses much less fair use then the law allows and abhors the fraudulent use of licensed content. Users who persistently upload unfree content and lie about the source & license will be blocked from further participation. They will not be allowed to return to editing until they clearly understand what they did wrong and why we will not tolerate further episodes.
Astonishingly, users blocked for copyright violations find it hard to accept that they have erred. Strident unblock messages blame everyone except themselves and disbelief and unhappiness abound when the requests are inevitably refused. They seem unwilling or incapable of understanding that stealing someone else's word/efforts is anathema to a free project and that not only are they leaving the project open to legal action, but, more importantly, they are causing lots of work for the other users who have to clear up after them. Don't believe this? Wander down to the tip of the iceberg and work out how much time and effort the editors working there are spending on this.
