HTMLcomics stands accused of criminal copyright infringement, reports Robot 6.
DC, Marvel, Dark Horse Comics, Bongo Comics, Archie Comics, Conan Properties Int’l LLC, Mirage Studios Inc., and United Media formed a consortium to work with the FBI on the case.
"HTMLcomics was believed to have been the largest, best-known and most easily accessible website of its kind, producing rampant copyright infringement on a daily basis and depriving artists and publishers of hard-earned and much-needed revenue," said law firm Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP in a statement.
The website reportedly received an average of 1.6 million visits per day and offered 6,630,021 pages of comics available for unrestricted reading online.
