Thanks for clarifying that there are waivers regarding this on the site. Seems like Wikia has indemnity for both removal of content and potential infringements - I have removed my comment to prevent misleading people. On another subject, your posts imply that Wikia condones piracy or intellectual theft. It doesn't. Its a medium through which this may potentially occur due to inherently semi-anonymous user activity on the site - and there are some pretty screwed up people on Wikia who wanna use it as a free hosting site for plaigarised, stolen or/and infringing content. This is why DMCA exists - to prevent the burden the pre-emptive removal would force on Wikia and stop the staff running around like headless chickens on the million-plus wikis Wikia has - only to make time-consuming legal judgements about the veracity of a individual infringement. It puts everything in perspective as to what counts as monetized copyright infringement in a manageable manner. What is your honest and realistic suggestion as to how an abuse-free system is implemented to make pre-emptive removal requests for infringing copyrights or infringement reports by people who do not own the copyright or represent the "Author"?
