I don't think it is equivalent to bookburning. In the case of posts which
are a clear violation of TLC's copyrights (and I think there are some of
those), Todd I think would actually be legally obligated to delete them if
asked. This is the same as if I printed up 100 copies of someone's book and
tried to sell them. The author would have no problem at all getting a court
to order the destruction of those copies (and can even order the destruction
of the copies which are already sold).
Is eBay's deletion of the occaisional slanderous feedback also equivalent to
bookburning?
In the end, since Lugnet is a private resource, Todd has complete legal (and
moral) authority to cancel any posts he desires if they no longer meet the
standards he sets for his server.
