Besides, aren't internationally hosted sites not subject to US laws like this? Worst case scenario, I suppose someone (e.g. me) could find a wiki farm hosted outside of the US and start a wiki there, and rely on external chat/etc. to replace those features here. That's because its a person, not the ability to express free will and creativity. As a US Company, Wikia is obligated to take down all fan fiction wikis, English or not I believe. Internationally hosted sites I guess aren't, but any American users who would write fan fiction on there might be fined and put in prision. (Yes, I would go to federal prision for writing fan fiction, as it is is copyright infringement. ) However, some users have suggested our community move to BTP (which I doubt would happen because I'm sure Blaziken would not want 100+ users on chat making no edits at all and not following the rules) or somewhere else in the worst case scenario.
