A couple of years ago a thread came up in DMOZ where the editor happened to be the owner of the content and new for a fact the website had no licsence for it.
If I remember correctly, the advice given was an editor COULD refuse the site if he had 100% proof it was illegal, it just wasnt the job of editors to go looking for proof.
"Sites with unlawful content should not be listed in the directory, particularly those intent and substantially focused on making available and distributing illegal materials. Examples of content that is illegal in most jurisdictions include child pornography; material that infringes on intellectual property rights; material that advocates, solicits or abets illegal activity (such as fraud or violence) in specific instances; and material that is libelous. Factual and how-to information is generally NOT abetting illegal conduct unless its intent is to facilitate the immediate commission of a crime in a specific situation. "
Does this not clearly say "material that infringes on intellectual property rights" should not be listed in DMOZ?
