The thread I mentioned this in was locked prematurely but as it has to do with free stuff, I'll re-quote my suggestion here:

"So, how about something like I suggested in my post above? Infringements reported to a Mod who takes down the file in question and contacts the infringer. There he/she can learn the actual intent of the person, perhaps maintain a record of the infringement for future purposes and then inform the public in a locked thread that such-and-such file contains copyrighted elements and should be deleted if downloaded.

It certainly seems fair to the first time offenders who might truely not know and would keep the mob mentality threads to a minimum."

That thread is just one of many and they all wind up locked or threatened with the key. It would seem that an actual policy makes a lot of sense compared to the way it's handled now.
