I asked Extremehp4 if I could copy his post and place it here. I thought those of you who are avid fans would be interested in seeing this.
I have heard news that WWE is on the way to crack down fansites and have them removed from the internet.
Sites that use WWE Superstars, images, pictures from RAW, SmackDown! and any WWE event. Or just fansites using images of their favorite WWE Superstars. So is WWE going to take away more of it's fans?
At the following sites talk about it as they've been warned already,
www.moontribes.com/
the following is from there...
OK...I can finally give everyone an idea what is going on. I was contacted by the WWE and they've asked that I not post any more of their media. From what I understand from other people, they're onto this a lot lately. They've also done this in the past with fansites. It's not just them either, other entities have done it with other types of fansites I frequented. I guess it comes with owning a media site and being a fan. I expected something like this sooner or later. I brought as much to as many people as I could, when you've missed it I tried to be there for you. When I've missed it, I've felt really bad, like I let you all down.

If you've seen Moontribes, you'll know why. Apparently the WWE don't want their media posted on fan sites anymore. I don't fancy getting on the wrong side of the law, with the WWE corporates contacting me, so before they do, I've taken all media down. This includes captures from their TV shows, scans, videos, audio clips, photos from live events, pretty much everything the site was about, the only exception so far appears to be photos of the wrestler's at signings or out in the street.
Feel feel to discuss.
whats gonna happen next them attacking probably one of the biggest wwe websites www.prowrestling.com?? nope not if i have something to say about it i am going to be makign a petition that i hope will spread through the internet world then when i think i have enough signitures to stun wwe to stop doing this i am gonna send it to like everybody in their corporation...if i have any luck it will be on wwe.com or prowrestling.com by the time i am done
I am very interested in hearing your points of view on this matter. Also, Extremehp4 was wondering if any off you would be willing to assist in writing up a petition on this matter.
