Re: Wait a minute.
The moderators announced the policy, as I understand it, then asked for opinions. (I don't remember being asked myself, but I might have missed the discussion in the move from one service to another.) We can say that the majority of the community appears to have acquiesced to the policy.
But even a majority vote can’t change the fact that Peter David simply didn't say what many people apparently believe he said when it came to "fair use" scans, here or anywhere else.
