Flickr's call to arms

Recently and related to our class discussions concerning YouTube/Google, rights laws and corporate responsibility, Flickr has been prompted by industry professionals to combat the reproduction and sale of copycat trademarked art through on-line retailers. Flickr has yet to repsond with an official reaction. I would predict more and more content consumers and producers may look to internet networks like myspace, or YouLoot to help police content/copyright improprieties.
