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?"

You know, that might happen. On the other hand, last I checked there were 21 pages of comments on the lastest news post about this kerfuffle, plus mentions of phonecalls and going to the media, so I'm wondering if this whole story won't bite them in the backside from the fannish angle, after all. Especially since, as someone pointed out, sex between two consenting related adults (eg brother and sister) isn't illegal in the US as long as they don't want to get married.
