I thought it was fun that he wanted to go give the video store people a story to tell by purchasing his own DVDs.
Ideally, yeah, although "what do you think of this crazy slash thing?" seems to have become a pretty standard interview question, and both fans and talent usually seem to handle it okay long as it's left in very abstract terms.

I have decided to write my term paper for my Law & Society class on fan fiction. I am still a little unfocused on what I am going to focus on, but something to do with copyright laws and how blogs add an extra coplication. It has to be a pro and con paper. If anyone has any articles on the subject they could point me toward, I would be ever so grateful. My profile address is good.
I know there's a law-specific fandom livejournal community, if that would help... ah! [link]
sj, Rebecca Tushnet's "Legal Fictions" is

You should probably check out Rebecca Tushnet's writings: [link]
Chilling Effects might also have some useful information or links:

Thanks for the links. I love the buffistas. You guys rock.
ETA: If anyone knows of any meatspace articles on the subject, I need to have at least a couple of those.
Brad Templeton's list of 10 Copyright Myths also gets cited a lot here and there: [link]
Punk and Sabine posted a cute-as-hell X-Files/Sports Night crossover.

Julie Fortune just posted some Daniel/Vala. Oh, yeah.
