Actually it does, at least to me. If everyone stopped stealing my content and posting it today, I would be very happy over that and probably not feel the need to seek restitution for past infringements.
I do not speak for this artist, though. Does the artist want to be paid? He seems to just want credit, I am sure something could've been worked out but it was pulled.
Lamar is also really mostly likely NOT the webdesigner. That is who is actually guilty of the infringement. Lamar owns the site, yes...but an infringement happens, and it was pulled. Isn't that how things should work?

Read the link that I posted. As soon as the news hit, started changing things and also modified robots.txt to disallow anyone from viewing archived versions of the site.

I did read that. He changed his links for what, though? To hide things OR to just make sure the archive or copies of the infringed work were taken down, as well? It seems like they were just being thorough.
I wish on a daily basis that is how things happened. I understand people want to get a "gotcha" moment on this guy because of the SOPA thing, but the comparison is silly.
