I'd have to disagree with that. Just because people get away with more on the internet doesn't make some of those things "okay."
But when there are so many fan sites for one author, I think your point about it being too costly to sue all of them for copyright is a good one. It would also be difficult to police the whole internet.
If I want to see what people are doing with my work and my name, I only have to sift through a few hundred pages on Google or some other search engine before I entirely run out of references to me and it's all about other Teresas or Edgertons or books with similar titles to mine. J. K. Rowling would undoubtedly have to look through hundreds of thousands, if not millions of pages. |
