I love the part where she un-ironically mentions how she immediately downloaded all the pron while in the same breath saying we need to stop all the online pron from falling in the wrong hands. And how slash needs to be "Kept Away from Everybody: Except Me and My Friends aka the "Right People"

I think, though, that you're not taking into context the time that this was written in. There was a real fear in fandom circles that you could be subject to legal action. Not so different in some ways from current affairs, except that fanfiction is actually more widely tolerated than before, and there's a lot more discussions about fair use and other possible legal defenses, if it came to that. At the time, though, if the lawyers picked you to come down upon, then it could effectively shut down your wing of fandom.

SA. Oh I totally took into account the time this was written (1999). It stood out even then when we read it in our copies of K/S Press and shook our heads in amusement. Mainly because she raced to download the pron even while criticizing the ability to download the pron. Such delicious hypocrisy. Plus, this was K/S - a fandom that had weathered many a "OMG they're coming to take us awaaaaay!" panics. If you were still a K/Ser by 2000 you had seen it all, done it all, and were going to do it all again and again. We were (and still are) a hardy folk.
