We have indeed achieved quite a lot. From some stories from the Wild Wild Internet, which also encompasses manifestos of 8chan and videos for streaming absolutely anything, we have arrived to stories officially published by a legal company, with legal notes and copyright statements supplied. And even better, you all have contributed to the writing of these legal notes. When I pointed out that their first version claimed permissions from the BBC, you came up with the legal stance why these permissions were not necessary. What's more, Arcbeatle Press agreed and implemented most of your suggestions in the revised version of the legal notes. The fair use clause and the parody idea all came from you. You have helped Arcbeatle Press create the current ownership/permissions statement. That's what I call the power of the community.

This is some welcome sense of normalcy: publishers publishing stories instead of bloggers posting posts.

I was just going to say that for me this concludes the question of Rule 3, but, unfortunately, there is a discrepancy in the latest anthology: it provides two seemingly incompatible statements:
 * "All stories are publications of Arcbeatle Press."
 * "Publisher: James Wylder"

So which is it? I am a bit confused.
