Well, yes, but once banned, the email says you can't even make another LJ here, here if a number of fairly prolific or well-known authors get banned, then there will probably be moving.
The written word is more protected than the art, but honestly, I have posted... I have no idea how many fics. I'm guessing several hundred--for instance, I have 68 posts at pornish. If ONE of those, even one written as crack in January of 2004 or, say, the series of TriWizard limericks from November 2005, gets reported and deemed underage/obscene (and actually, I reckon it's the teeny ones like limericks and drabbles that's more likely to happen to because they are more likely to be deemed without literary merit), all that goes. Personally, I'm all for taking action to prevent that from happening. Heh.
It is true all sites will have to follow the law. It is not true they will all choose to interpret "obscene" the same way, or that they will all choose to choose the interpretation of child porn to mean drawn images (which were, as recently as 18 months ago,explicitly protected as NOT child porn). LJ isn't responsible for the laws, but I do hold them accountable for how they are choosing to interpret them and why (sponsors).
