Why are Fox closing down X-Files and Millennium fan web sites?
A. The legal people at Fox have noticed that people all over the net are using copyrighted pictures, sound files, etc without their permission and have decided to take measures to prevent this. Many have said that this is unnecessary because the sites are (or should be) non-profit and actually offer free promotion for the show. The most well known case is that of Gil Trevizo, who had his university account closed two years ago due to pressure by Fox (they threatened to sue unless the site was removed). Recently, Fox has been somewhat quiet with regard to this issue.
