I'm struggling to think of ANY content linked to on VEF that isn't in violation of those T&Cs.

Fully clothed public domain or otherwise out of copyright images of celebrities is all I can come up with.

I think that's written solely for the benefit of FileFactory, all the stuff about terror images and hate crime legislation smacks of that.
