Going to the forums is also not the appropriate course of action, which I wish the moderators would remind people of when they do so. The proper course of action is to alert the copyright/trademark holder and bow out, allowing them to pursue it in the manner and to the extent they feel appropriate. As a courtesy to the site we spend so much time on, you can contact a moderator or admin privately so that they can remove the item if they feel it poses a risk. However, it should not be brought to the forum to tattle to the whole world; in fact, doing so may be libelous in some cases.
(In all fairness, this particular thread is not for the purpose of alerting about a possibly policy violation; as the subject line says, it's protesting what seems to be selective enforcement of the policy.)
