Ah, fandom! Yet another round of total idiocy over AO3, I see; you never disappoint me!
/heavy sarcasm
I have little sympathy for casual whining that it isn't perfect yet. It's in beta; that's why it isn't open enrollment. Presumably the people who sign up for it now know what they're getting into, and if they don't they should.
I have even less sympathy for pure idiocy. In fact, yes, the project admins know what copyright and IP law is about, even if they don't agree with you personally (or with the RIAA et al, which is more to the point). Fancy that, it is indeed possible!
I also, frankly, have very little sympathy for those trying to shoehorn distinct fandom cultures (for example anime/manga and comics) into a single, undifferentiated category, especially when their reaction to predictable resistance is to suggest that everyone in resistance is Just Wrong and Thoughtless.
( This does not mean I am unsympathetic to the problem. )
So you see! I have sympathy for everyone but the crazy people engaging, as Hambly has so pithily put it, in recreational hysteria! Go me. *jams on the halo of heavy sarcasm* In the short form, a lot of things still need work. Some of them are really big things. None of them, however, involve dark conspiracies, so please to be sliding back under your dank rocks little trolls.
