Here from metafandom, and going *word.*

I'm also wondering if some of this 'agreement' is because people don't underestand or think about the differences between archiving, linking, etc.

That is, in the same way that my students (many of them!) cannot seem to distinguish between a general internet site and an article in a full-text database to which access is controlled (subscription, password, etc.) -- because it's all "the internet." Many people who use this series of tubes don't understand it in any meaningful way, so they may be distinguish between two very different well modes.

But then some people seem to think nobody should even refer to their story or talk about it in any way without permisison--which also boggles my mind!
