Very few people are still bothering to express legal concerns on the FanLib forums in the last few days, since threads have been locked, people have had their posting permissions reduced, etc.
A couple still are, and the reply is now a cut and paste from the Jenkins interview.
[The bold parts are where I fixed it for him.]
"Thanks for the posting and expressing a valid concern. [Now STFU, get back in the kitchen and write me some more free content, woman.] We have done an extensive risk analysis and are comfortable with supporting fan fiction through our website. [Oh, an "extensive" one. That explains it all.] As some of our members have already acknowledged, the landscape is changing. [For the worse, and we're the cause.] Fan fiction is already on the radar of media companies and publishers. Already, FanLib has conducted online storytelling events with media companies and publishers who are embracing fan fiction. Our goal is build a great venue, open to everyone, that allows people to showcase their work, discover great stories, get closer to the talent behind their favorite fandoms [you will get to see Sarah Michelle Gellar's boobs] and participate in [the downfall of fan fiction as we know it] fun events. FanLib.com's unique approach of [screwing over] collaborating with fans, media companies and publishers can positively impact [ad revenue] the fan fiction community and [attract] avoid needless litigation. We are going to do whatever is feasible to assure people [without any factual basis whatsoever] that posting on FanLib.com does not somehow add to their liability."
