Dear fandom_scruples:

Do you know what an injunction is?

I love you. <33333333333

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Me too!

[ari-o.livejournal.com]

I'm intrigued by the "commercial purposes" hint it throws out. What does that mean? Someone is selling her slash somewhere? O_o

[sincelastjuly.livejournal.com]

This entire thing is so dumb.

[effervescent.livejournal.com]

Heidi I love you. <3333 I'm glad this kind of stuff is getting out now, before people have time to panic like they did last year, with all the RS.org stuff.

[malachan.livejournal.com]

:)) And of course we can't tell FS about these little problems. Because "Comments aren't necessary."

I wish LJ would just shut them down already. Alas, this probably doesn't fit their definition of harrassment.

*enraged*

[shelaghc.livejournal.com]

Actually, it just might. Heidi? What say you to this?

Is this group actually harassing other LJ users in the community by their threats of lawsuits?

Could they, in effect, be kicked out of LJ for what they're doing?

[shelaghc.livejournal.com]

Until they started talking lawsuits, it was dumb.

Now they're getting nasty and starting to have a potential for hurting people.

I'd like to know just who it is they've been consulting with on this lawsuit thing.

[flourish.livejournal.com]

Well, it sounds like they don't have a legal leg to stand on ("commercial purposes" - emphasis mine), so... maybe that makes it more harrassment and less fair warning? I certainly feel harassed, and I'm not even on their blacklist.

[airemay.livejournal.com]

WTF?!

Okay, this is getting just sick. I am completely disgusted!

[sincelastjuly.livejournal.com]

I'd like to know why they're not just coming out and saying who they are, instead of hiding behind a shared LJ name. If they do go to court, it'll come out anyway.

!

I just ignored it until they started up with this 'reporting to the authorities' crap. Now it's pissing me off.

*reads f_s' latest post, groans*

Besides, it's called the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA. Not COPA. If you're threatening legal action, can you at least get your terminology straight?

[no-remorse.livejournal.com]

Of course slash has a commercial purpose - it's advertising the alternative life style! That's why the FBI will be closing down every slash site on the net - yes, even the ones that are hosted on servers in Russia!

[misscora.livejournal.com]

Things like this make me doubly glad to know you, Heidi. I shall wibble another day, when I have less homework.

[mmichelle.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly. When everyone started talking about it, I checked it out and then rolled my eyes and ignored it.

This, however, is really really really aggravating me. And it's no longer something that's "best to be ignored" or whatever.

Shit.

::amused::

i love watching the wankers try to play legal games with the laywer.

...and where's this for-profit shite coming from? where is there a site making a profit, and why aren't they sharing wiht the rest of us?

[heinous_bitca.livejournal.com]

I'd love for them to contact my web host. Considering it's an adult web host. :)

[ari-o.livejournal.com]

You know - that is my biggest beef with this moron. I have very little respect for someone who can't stand behind what they say.

I truly think f_s believes she can pass info on and no one will ever know who she is. This isn't the same person who was behind pottersginny is it?

[sincelastjuly.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

Hmm -- didn't think about it -- I was more suspecting someone on the 'good list' was the culprit.

[shelaghc.livejournal.com]

According to dargie, FS may indeed be guilty of violating Live Journal's TOS.

Check it out here:
dargie's TOS post

Looks like everyone on that black list could report FS if they like.

[ari-o.livejournal.com]

Oh gawd. The one huge glaring hole is the TERM: marketplace.

my livejournal is not a marketplace.

[sincelastjuly.livejournal.com]

wah that TOS post link doesn't work

[zorb]

And here I was, thinking f_s was dead. *sigh*
