If such edits are reported then they will be removed, just as these ones 
were.

If you know of other cases then how about you stop dropping opaque hints 
here and start acting like a good OSM citizen by following the proper 
protocols and reporting it. See the bold text on this page:

   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement

Where possible only infringing edits will be removed - I'm not sure why 
you think we would or should do more than that. In this case the mapper 
refused to cooperate with identifying which edits were infringing so we 
had to assume they all were and remove them all.
