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.
