Re: Wikia violating copyright?
We're not talking about Wikipedia though. We're talking about .
Well, you copyright opinion like you copyright anything else: Write it down. You own the copyright to the post you made just as I own the copyright to my response to your post.
A search engine has little to do with Wikia, but it is certainly not impossible to sue people like Google. If a search engine just showed you the full content from a page, it would expect to be sued. Indexing is considered fair use. (See the recent decision in Google vs. Perfect 10. Wikipedia has a decent summary here: )
That's because indexing like that is considered fair use. Wikia isn't a search engine. It's not indexing people's copyrighted material without permission. It's flat-out displaying the copyrighted material and trying to make a profit on the top of it.
