again, that's bs. nowhere does the policy state "silently delete things without |
| 11 |
talking to anyone", nor does it state "ignore common sense, blindly follow the |

rules, and act how your think the policy states". nothing here was cause for |
| 13 |
alarm that could possibly have warranted straight up deletion. |

considering how copyright *actually* works for us, this statement is fairly |

ludicrous. |
