Please don't mistake this as being in support of LJ because it's not and I don't want to get flamed but...
I really don't envy the position they find themselves in. It seems to me that formulating a policy that will cover every possible permutation of what's permissible and what's not is a damn near impossible task. If I were in their position I'd be wishing I'd never opened this particular can of worms!
PS. If you're wondering about the icon, it's a photo of a sculpture from Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples, Italy courtesy of a posting discussing "artistic merit and LJ" here (gakked from [Bad username or site: http://www.greatestjournal.com/community/fandomtossed/63375.html @ livejournal.com]).
