fifthtrinityHail Eris!
The lart began when I saw several friends complain about![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wiccans_unite. The maintainer of the new comm had copied the user info, icons, and interests straight out of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
wiccan, where the wiccans_unite maintainer had a falling out over various new Wiccan topics which are familiar to several of us.
Thuswiccans_untie was born. Days later blackthornglade was libeled, and indicated to be the creator (since they had joined, while I had not). I quickly corrected the mistake, but found an abuse complaint of copyright infringement against me. Fortunately the claim was fraudulent, as the content in wiccans_untie's info originally appeared in wiccan and silvertree has (if I interpret "Np." correctly) granted her permission for the use of that text in wiccans_untie (she was in fact notified as soon as I created the lart.)
Unfortunately the Digital Millennium Copyright Act requires that I submit to a legally stringent commitment. The abuse team has advised me to seek legal representation, so here I am!
FYI I am in the 9th Federal Legislative District(?) Eastern Washington U.S. Court District (easy, 30 minute drive for me).
