*hysterical laughter*

[rm]

Because, really, I'm out of other reactions.

LJ tries, again, to define obscenity, child pornography and art and manages to fail from a legal standpoint.

People get pissed off.

I summarize cheekily, because, really? I've got nothing.

I'm not sure there's anything they can say to fix this. :p Sadly.

it doesn't matter whether they "fail from a legal standpoint"

it is a case-to-case basis you homo

people get pissed off, the internet gets pissed off

whatever homo

just do your thing> it's a case-to-case basis

it's called general guidelines or an outline of something from where they can trap your stupid ass

in the meantime, indulge

They fail from any standpoint, really. Ugh.

jeez, guys, every other major Internet agency has a perfectly good legal boilerplate for this sort of thing. How hard is it to copy and paste? Do you not have a lawyer on retainer for this shit?

And that's not even getting into the actual issues.

And I hope you reported the moron above to LJ abuse just on principle.

Just as a warning to anyone reading, there are spoilers for the HP novel on what is presently page 7 of comments, but don't expect it to end there.
