Can you explain why you and Christoph think it is too easy to get DM  
rights?

No system is going to result in perfect uploads.  The goal is to  
balance good uploads versus timely uploads.  If there has really been  
only one controversial upload by a DM, then that seems like a very  
good track record in practice.  It would be hard to improve on such a  
low rate of bad uploads.
