[OSM-talk] build a list of "common" "invalid source" and warn the user before uploading ?

[Mateusz Konieczny]

Looking at the linked animation it seems a very good idea.

I think that damage from people who will learn to lie better
is smaller than avoided damage from clueless people.

Though that is based on my guess that malicious people
are fairly rare compared to number of confused not informed,
and that copyright violation will be also visible in other ways.
