We'll just have to see what they do. I think the problem is less WB (WB has been told about it, I'm sure) than law enforcement. With WB, all LJ has to do is just follow DMCA procedures, and few fans will challenge those: in any event, with copyright law, LJ can just make it between the accused and the copyright holder, so they don't have to be involved.

Well, the former things with abuse haven't had a high profile; look at the back archives for abuse_lj_abuse, for example. Some of the complaints in there are BS, but some are more legitimate.

As for why I'm not leaving, it's because it's a cost-benefit analysis for me. I get some things out of LJ, and I am not overly inconvenienced by what LJ gets out of me. I think LJ does benefit a teeny weeny bit, just as it does from any active user, but I don't care. LJ management will either get its head screwed on or not, but with all of this, I'm not holding my breath.

Oh, but why would we need to stay on LJ to talk about the Skyhawke chan thing? It had nothing to do with LJ.
