I replied in the biz post, and will probably make another detailed post/open letter type of thing in my own journal later tonight when I have more time, but the one question that I haven't really seen anyone else asking and which certainly hasn't been answered is what LJ/6A's stance is on the legality of fanfic and fanart. Even fandom can't seem to agree about whether or not it is fair use or a violation of copyright law, and since there really isn't any case law to fall back on to prove one side or the other right, shouldn't it be something that LJ takes a stance on in terms of TOS? We already know that WFI and other idiots like them are not above going and complaining about anything and everything. What will LJ/6A's position be when WFI starts filing complaints that we are all in violation of the TOS for writing/creating/supporting/advocating for fanfic or fanart, which is an illegal activity (not that I consider it illegal, but we all know that there are those who do)? Will they back us or ban us all? We need to know this.
