However, there are a few legal issues here that bug me:

1) If you suspect a crime is or has been committed, don't delete a journal, call the cops!!
2) If you accuse someone publicly of criminal behavior, but can't/don't/won't back it up with evidence and reporting it to the authorities, you could be committing libel and defamation3) Deleting ( Read more... )

I have a suggestion of what to do on my blog. We, the users, buy out the company. 10 million or so users, each contributing $25 is 250million... that'd be enough.

Hard for them to fuck it up against our wishes when we own them, literally.

Your icon is hilarious.

The problem is that only about 1 million are active users, and fewer are paid users. So we'd have to up the buy-in by a factor of 10 to 20. Yeah, I could swing $250 - $500, but most couldn't.

I can't, but I'd take out a LOAN to do it.

I've re-buggered my interests to include things like "sin," "pain," "depravity," "jailbait," "perversion," "bloodlust," etc. Of course, as I explain in the "bio" section, every single one of them is a BPAL perfume. I would LOVE to see them come after me for THAT.

The minute I saw that list, I KNEW you were a BPAL lover! Have you heard the one about not being able to order Absinthe on PayPal because it thinks the scent is an alcoholic beverage?

But the musk of an enraged orangutan is, for some reason, okay for members of the general public to own? You can buy a BRAIN CANISTER (one of my top ten scents, btw) without a license?

jilara, meet ka_crow. You might find other things in common...

I put "censorship" and "la Marseillaise" in my interests. The latter could easily be construed as a death threat...

je_regret_riens June 2 2007, 02:27:56 UTC

I am so intrigued by this, but I don't get it. :( Would you care to explain?

The chorus of "La Marseillaise" (which is the national anthem of France, BTW) can be translated:

To arms citizens
Form your battalions
March, march
Let impure blood
Water our furrows

which is clearly a death threat against my enemies, right?

Awesomeness. ♥

I've wandered over here via a link you left in a comment left to one of the recent news posts....

I too have a permanent account - if you find out anything we permanent members can do to protect ourselves, please let me know? - I won't be on par with what I've paid for for another few years yet, I think - and that just isn't fair.
lj scares me.
