They actually host what is, in the UK at least, copyright material. The high resolution images of paintings from the National Portrait Gallery (I can't find any indication of resolution, but if we are saying accusation of copyright infringement is enough, why couldn't NPG go to court to get Wikipedia blocked by ISPs?). Yes - this is an exaggeration, non-infringing usage and all that.
Wikipedia was also blocked for an image that was considered kiddy porn wasn't it? (That album cover for the Scorpions album Virgin Killer)
