"IP as in 'Intellectual property'?"
You got any cases to prove that? Because so far pages got suspended only because they had something adult which wasnt behind a paywall yet. Which is what they have been doing since last year.
Apparently a lot of creators got unsuspended very quickly.
And from Akaburs website, an update from him regarding the situation:
Update:
According to Akabur, Patreon has responded to his emails. He states that they are being very nice about the whole thing, and that he should be back in business for a Monday post.
A quick turn about like this might be due to a troll report sent to Patreon, or perhaps Patreon didn't find anything that went against their guidelines. Whatever the case, I'm sure Akabur will have plenty to say on the subject come Monday.
Points out to them just being trigger happy with the suspensions, because it showed in the past how they react. They get any reports about anything, they very quickly suspend the page and then look into the cases. Basically you are guilty until proven innocent, not the greatest situation, especially since that more often than not happens right before the weekend.
Which might be another evidence that its a wave of troll reports.
