It's hilarious seeing the free speech heroes loudly decrying the NPG and getting out the pitchforks when by the looks of things it's actually a pretty serious legal issue for dcoetzee. I wonder what they'd be doing if it was them on the receiving end. This could have huge ramifications for the guy. As others have said, the first thing done should have been to delete all the image, and let WMF re-upload if they want this fight. It's not worth messing up an individuals life for, no matter how 'specious' some people may think the threat is.
