This is one of the key motivations behind the creation of a peer-review system, such as the one used by Xbox Live Indie Games: http://creators.xna.com/en-US/review_detail http://creators.xna.com/en-US/review_detail By not approving games ourselves (in fact, Microsoft employees are banned from even looking at un-reviewed games), we achieve some sort of legal protections (which I lack the vocabulary to describe). This process also scales better than a central review board model. Indie Games doesn't need that scale yet, but the back-end is generic enough to be used with other user created content which might demand the scale: http://creators.rockband.com/ http://creators.rockband.com/
