 +In some contexts this can be a significant problem: especially if the Wiki is a publically readable corporate site, where the host can be held accountable for the content.

 +While it is a good idea to have an usage policy and to put in place proper user education, it might not be a totally foolproof solution.

 +There might be some users who are unaware of copyright issues or slipped off the mind. It is also possible to have some rogue users as well.
 +
 +It will be very tedious to appoint a moderator to scan every posting.
 +
 +Therefore instead of having the site or the organization to be responsible for it, is it possible to adopt a policy similar to YouTube where the hosting site will remove any objectable materials from the site when it has been informed.

 +Another useful tool I have used to check to see if text in a Wiki is from another copyrighted source online is CopyScape.com.
