Furthermore, I find it disingenuous that a DMCA notice (which may or may not
have been sent by Durova, because nobody's willing to say anything) is not
considered to be a legal threat that violates the No Legal Threats policy.
Excuse me, but are you aware of how ridiculous this is? That means if someone
had a copyright violation on Wikipedia and they were an editor on
Wikipedia and
they sent a take-down notice we'd respond by blocking them? Are you
aware of how
ridiculous that sounds? Granted sending take-down notices is not the
best way of
handling this sort of situation, but the idea of blocking someone who is
legitimately protecting copyright seems a bit... off. The no legal
threats rule
is primarily for dealing with things like libel suits that are directed
at other
editors.
