They probably haven't said anything because they haven't decided what they're going to do yet. It's understandable. There was a pretty substantial catalogue of product, and we outside RDNA have no idea if they have to go through that, as well. I have faith in them that they'll be forthcoming. It may not be as fast as you want it, but it will be when it happens.
It's not so much that some subjects are "suddenly off limits". Discussing for pages on end tidbits and details when, to be honest, we're pretty much no better than armchair quarterbacks yelling at the refs on most occasions. You may be upset, but, your being upset isn't going to make things go faster, and, the more you dwell on it, the longer it seems.
As for "off limits" subjects...to be honest, other sites' and peoples' legal matters should always have been off limits.
Here's an excerpt from the beginning of the TOS:
Member/User Conduct:
Members and users are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is constructive and respectful of others at all times. Additionally, we hope that each member/user will work to facilitate a culture of collaboration and positive reinforcement, so we can all share our passion for art while developing our personal ambitions, and friendships.
Members/Users will not use this community for:
Any practices that affect the normal operations of the community (Admins will take whatever steps are necessary to restore service).
The simple fact is, I've yet to see many discussions regarding a potentially infringing product where the TOS wasn't breached in this regard. Whether it's libel, personal attacks, or destructive commentary, those threads were full of them. On the whole, we (community-wide) have a tendency to shoot first, and ask questions later. We can't do that, and my team isn't going to allow it. These kinds of discussions aren't allowed at most other sites, and there are reasons for it. Most of them legal.
As it is, there is a due process. All we're saying, is let things take their course.
