Legal Issues
On the 13th April 1999 the Unofficial Superboy site received a letter from lawyers acting on behalf of DC Comics asking the owner of the site to make certain changes to his site. Over the next few days other sites also received letters. The main problem the lawyers seemed to have with the sites in question was that they contained adverts. 'Adverts' in the lawyers' definition included, not entirely unreasonably, ad banners put on sites by free web hosting services, such as Xoom, who hosted this site. In order to get rid of the banners and thus, hopefully, avoid the wrath of the lawyers, I decided to do something I'd been meaning to do for a while, namely transferring this site to my Demon account. I didn't like the adverts that Xoom put at the top of every page and was planning to move the site anyway, but the lawyers' actions against other sites gave me the push I needed.[1]
