To clear this up (and as I mentioned on the original article): No, these images are not illegal. IANAL - but I am one better, someone who grades such images for court. [on the issue raised; clearly the foundation does have a right/obligation to remove illegal images. Indeed even if they suspect them to be illegal. However any expert they could have found would have told them they are fine. I think the uprising is more against the impression that the foundation has bowed to their sponsors rather than take a realist/rational approach]
