This is the same for all the clbum stores.

Not the hacker one! It is entirely devoid of copyrighted images from itembuildr!

Personally, I would deal with copyrighted images in the following manner:

1) Put a “report copyrighted images” link on the voting page for itembuildr images, and allow a mod to verify the copyright on the image and, on doing so, remove the image from competition.

2) If an item makes it through and the image is later found to be copyrighted, remove the image from the item, remove the item from all NPC stores, and strip the winner of his or her peen from getting the winning image (even if they got the peen from a legitimate image win, be careful people.) Just replace the copyrighted image with a generic placeholder image, and if ET thinks that the item really is neat, add some bonus rounds to itembuildr wherein people submit and vote images for things that had their images removed. It’s not really a tragedy if an item goes through life without an image, most of the items people equip (.moar files) don’t have a unique image.

I think that would solve a lot of the problems.
