Why Is This ToS Different From All The Other ToSes?

[synecdochic]

I've seen several people saying that the language in FanLib's ToS is no different than the language in any other online service provider's ToS (specifically LJ's), and that's simply not true -- there are some provisions in FanLib's ToS that are very different, and very disturbing to my eyes. If people are interested in why I think this, the full analysis is in my journal.

(For those of y'all who don't know me: hi, I'm the one on the LJ team who's always asking "but what can we do for fandom?")

I'm staying out of the arguments regarding FanLib itself, but I wanted to just clear up the ToS-related stuff. As I said there, I'm happy to clarify things further, though I am not a lawyer and I can't provide legal advice.
