If you don't have anything else to do...

Well, I was supposed to post the link to my latest sketch, but that'll wait until tomorrow.

I just spent some fascinating moments (at least 1h30) reading a kind of essay about the fandom debacle. It was written by someone who wants to remind fans about some realities, in term of laws/commercial goals/society opinions and the like. Having faced legal pursuit himself, his opinion and concerns are interesting in my opinion and I think I learned many things (even though it deals more specifically with US and Canada), but the comments add an even wider dimension to the whole discussion (and don't get deterred by some lengthy repetitive comments, it does remain interesting till the end!). Though I wouldn't want to advertize his essay because it seems somewhat double-edged, given my short f-list, that shouldn't be a problem ^^;;
There are many interesting links too in both article and comments part.

If I'd dare present my humble opinion on the debacle, from the very start when I heard of it, and from my very novice point of view, it all amounted to money and how incomes could be swayed by so-called morality scandals, for those who reported the posts or implemented a hasty procedure, and how it finally seemed to be resolved. That's not a criticism, it's just reality, in my point of view.
