Oh, what a crappy deal. I hadn't heard about that cause I hadn't heard of the comm before, but now I'm sad and angry.

It seems to me that whenever people freak out over copyright - Fox stopping Buffy sing-along sessions of OMWF, for example - it just stifles fandom goodness.

It's very hard to stop people from engaging in fannish activities that use representations of that fandom that could be considered as violating that copyright - and it only makes things crappier to try and stop everyone from doing it.
