CENSORSHIP

[sarren]

Does everyone know that LJ took it upon themselves to delete the journal with the hilarious review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

Apparently anything is game now.

Get it while it's hot!

EDIT: Apparently it's Scholastic that are the bad guys this time.

My understanding is that they have no choice if they're presented with the proper legal papers. See rivkat's comment on astolat's entry for more information.

Which is not to say that LJ hasn't been stupid before, but that this time it looks like they're only doing what they're legally required to do.

Bugger.

Who sends the counternotice, is it the user's responsibility or LJ's if the user complains?

[zoerayne]

Well, I'm not a lawyer, but I'd assume that's the user's responsibility. For the purposes of this kind of thing, LJ is the same as any other web hosting service.
