Stargate fandom journal deletions?

[fangirl_says]

With thanks to moonlicious, who's apparently the first person to notice.

Looks like LJ's loosed the ban suspendhammer again, possibly for copyright violation in Stargate fandom this time. None of the Stargate fans on my Flist appear to have been effected, so far, but UGH. Here we go again. :(

Do you mean they're viewing fan fic and stuff as copyright violation?

No, my understanding is that the journals they went after were involved in screencapping and possibly iconing. I think someone had posted caps from an upcoming Stargate movie? I'm not really in the fandom, so I'm not sure.

I don't know for sure -- things are pretty confused right now; that's just what I've seen people saying. ARGH.

I have the movie on my journal. I've had it up since March 3rd and haven't had a problem.

Here's what I know for a fact:

An icon maker on my f-list, active in Stargate fandom, has recently had their personal and art journal suspended. (The message popped up when I refreshed my friends list in Semagic today. I last did that.. I'm not sure when, but it can't have been very long ago -- maybe a week or so?) Unfortunately I can't get in touch with her to ask what happened.

Another person had their journal suspended yesterday. They haven't told why yet.

I've come across a few more suspended journals, but it's difficult to tell how recent the suspensions were. Honesty, this could be an unlucky coincidence. Here's hopin'! But I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

Geez Louise...for Stargate?! Man...next thing you know, I'll be gone for my various and years old icons.

Frakkin' SUP.
