what's the context of what? the point is that a link to anything is contentless, and unless i add a context around the link that suggests that the person following it should consider it an instruction to some kind of illegal action, it continues to be contentless. so unless i link to, say, a piece of art portraying minors in a sexual situation with a note that says, "hey, check this out, it should give you some ideas about what to do with your saturday," the link doesn't pose a problem. at least not from the perspective of any law or service provider other than, apparently, LJ.

to go back to the paper bag analogy - the fact that you can remove the paper bag and see what's behind it should be, based on lj's previous statements, fine unless in the process of seeing what's behind it i somehow move that content onto lj's servers. which would be a little absurd.

(sorry if this is getting a little muddled.)
