[Wikipedia-l] Two issues here:

(Sorry for the ommission of the subject line. But it seems that subject line 
has a limit in my mail service.)

One more issue. What is legal for an admin to do/not do.

In U.S. context, I guess admins may be held liable if they do not delete 
obscene or defamatory content after a notice/objection from a user. (Or is 
it the project as a whole rather than admins which would be held liable?)

Similar things, but with different conditions, would apply for admins of 
other language-wikis. So, sometimes, even if the content is perfectly legal 
to host in a U.S. server, it would have to be deleted by an admin in another 
country.

Regarding copyrights, Japanese laws provide different protections for the 
copyright holders and exemptions for users (like that of fair use in the 
U.S.). So, again, what is legal in U.S. context may or may not be legal in 
Japanese context.

regards,

Tomos
