In the immortal words of someone else, the Six Apart meltdown just got unfunnier.
Reactions seem to be mixed between abject horror and cheering.
I can't be the only person who thinks getting real litigation involved with fanart and fanfic is NOT a good idea. We manage to play in a grey area in copyright law because we hide away on the internet. I can only see this pulling us into the spotlight and endangering ALL fanworks, not just the ones LJ's been kicking.
I wonder if my earlier prediction about free speech in privately-owned places and the fate of fanfic as derivative work is going to come to a head? Hopefully in favor of free speech this time.
As it is, I suppose we shall see.
