The way this moron talks, you'll go to jail for it.
There is a move afoot in Washington - primarily pushed by the RIAA and MPAA to make copyright infringement a criminal act punishable by jail time. While their main goal is stopping sharing of music and tv/movies by ordinary people (aka piracy in their lingo), if they managed to get the law passed, depending on how encompassing it is, it could affect fandom a lot or a little.
twistedchick over at LJ has posted about this, partly in relation to fanarchive. I think there's posts in her LJ or in fanarchive or fandomlawyers.
