"Same" Fandom in Different Language Communities

Finally, someone is writing about the experience of being in the fandom in different language communities of the same source text! Although she's talking about being in German and English fandoms at the same time, so many points ring true to my experience with the Chinese and English fandoms. I posted a rather tl;dr response there but I still may write a longer one here once I gather my thoughts.

(...somehow I seems to be in constant yay mode since moving to DW...)

Intellectual Property Rights?

This is old news but apparently protest T-shirts against the RaceFail of The Last Airbender are violating copyright even though they contain only original images and have clearly political slogans on them.

I know this is not a court decision but I still haven't got over the HP Lexicon case even now.
