One last comment about Strikethroughgate

Open this time: can anyone with legal experience in the US or other common-law system tell me whether in the light of this, the following disclaimer might hold water?

This [journal/post/story] discusses matters concerning activity that may be illegal in certain jurisdictions. This is for artistic purposes only, is not meant to condone or encourage such activity, and the author opposes any and all illegal activity. This [journal/post/story] is not used in furtherance of any illegal activity.

I'm thinking that combined with removing questionable interests, this might be a nice argument to pull up with LJ abuse next time they pull this card. "Didn't you read the disclaimer in my profile?"

i don't have any specific knowledge for this arena, but i've always been of the understanding that disclaimers don't provide any real legal protection, at least when it comes to fanfic, so... =/

Ah, but this isn't Intellectual Property, this is proof of intent. Whole different kettle of fish.
