yeah...readable legal fictions...thanks for the link!
i'm not sure how much that is provable, but i'm also wondering whether the lack of initiation/mentorship has affected the lack of caution(i.e., when you had to jump through several hoops to get to the good stuff, you became part of a secret subculture...if you find ff through the latest article in your daily newspaper, it seems less likely you're worried about protecting a community that you may feel more or less strongly about).
Also, is there any relationship between other concerns (like the underage sex issues in HP) and copyrights? [i.e., it seems to me that JKR will endorse 'clean' sites and didn't Lucas try to control ff and keep it family friendly?]
looks like a cool paper! why don't i ever get to hear sth like that??? *whine* :D
