They won't? Then why did CLAMP shut down several
fansites that hosted artbook scans? Why did I
get an ISP to shut down a site that had copied
nearly everything directly from my site?
Sites care because, you know, if some one gets
pissed off enough about their images being
stolen, it's very possible for them to take legal
action against the ISP. In fact, it may be
easier to take it against the ISP that hosts
those images than against the person that made
the site, as it's easy enough to hide all
personal/contact information from a site's
vistors, but the ISP is generally easy to
identify or contact. Now personally, sure, it
may be rather silly for some one to sue over
stolen cel images, but the point is that it *is*
possible. And ISPs generally want to avoid legal
action. |
