Thank you for the straight up answer. However, the question remains, why
single out these groups when you above all, should be aware of copyright
infringements in other groups. I can't imagine that I spend nearly a
fraction of the time online that you do and I see violations everywhere.
Pictures are posted in non-binary groups, software slips through on a
regular basis, and textual copyright laws are CONSTANTLY violated in every
group. (I am particularly aware of publishing violations simply because I
read a lot and tend to remember what I've seen.) Are you in some fashion
saying by your practice that software and pictorial copyright violations
are more severe infringements than textual simply because they are more
viseral?
