In the past I have often used the terms Intellectual Property and Copyright to mean essentially the same thing, without realizing that this was incorrect. Maybe that was because English is not my native language, but probably not since I have actually heard several others making the same mistake as well.

Over the last few weeks, a few high-profile accounts on Identi.ca, like @methoddan and @jezra, were inexplicably locked out of the system. I'm currently analyzing the possible causes, but I wanted to give a general idea of what's going on.
