Hi Puppy :)

The ownership of the Uncyclopedia content is the same as for other wikis on Wikia. The copyright remains with the original authors and those authors give Wikia, and anyone else, a license to use the content (with certain conditions, including attribution). That's why Carlb is able to create a mirror site, even though most Uncyclopedians aren't keen on it.

What Wikia purchased, was basically just the original domain name. We didn't, and couldn't, buy the content - but we can host it under the Creative Commons license. Hope that helps :)
