Just to point out, we're here to write a FREE encyclopedia. If it turns out the **AA goons are going to successfully sue into oblivion anyone distributing the encyclopedia, then there's a good argument the encyclopedia is no longer free.
Look, don't be ridiculous. It's not the case that we're transitioning from a state where it would be legal for us to post anything we want to completely unrestricted, to one where suddenly there are now restrictions.
Look, don't call me ridiculous and then make a comment that has nothing to do with the quote you present.
There have always been restrictions. We couldn't legally post Child Porn images to illustrate the article on it. We don't let people publish BLP libel or unfounded statements. We don't publish a life-size scan of a dollar bill on the Dollar page (it's about 1.5x "real size", presumably due to the size related restrictions). We don't have actual detailed nuclear bomb plans up on [[Nuclear weapon design]] article.
There have been no crusades to overturn those restrictions.
Of course not, and there shouldn't be. You seem to be reading something into my post that isn't there.
We are an organization that would be in terrible trouble if sued for statutory damages for a thousand infractions of DMCA.
Please don't oversimplify this to a white and black case.
Please retract that comment, as I have done no such thing.
Anthony still posing as wikilegal, because wikimail is still moderated.
