This is so ridiculous. If it was posted all over the place I can understand but contained to one site doesn't really cause any harm. People have to go out of their way to find the site and read the spoilers. If people want that, there's no real issue. This isn't even a leak. The content was already out so it's just writing down what someone with photogenic memory has in their head after viewing the movies and such. This isn't like posting actual movies

Unless they were distributing copies of the film along with the transcription that's kinda bullshit.

CODA stated that as a result of the police investigation, it was discovered that the company's management and employees colluded to systematically commit copyright infringement and operate the website for profit, with the large number of hits it gains.


I think this is what ultimately makes it problematic because they're essentially regurgitating copyrighted content for profit. I can't say that the result wouldn't have been the same had they not monetized the operation, but blatantly profiting from it does make it a lot worse.

Unless they were posting the scripts from these productions line-by-line, I don't see the point of going after small fry spoiler sites when Wikipedia pages for films and movies usually have the exact same spoilers, either in the "Plot" section for movies or the "List of Episodes" for series.
