The copyright concern is NOT on the characters, which are covered under Fair Use, but the copyrighted articles which someone else has written.

For example, I'm an admin on the Kim Possible Wiki. I visit the Disney Wiki and as I visit KP-related pages I see my words and articles repeated. Now, I did not spend time and energy to write the articles FOR the Disney Wiki. I spent my time and energy to write them for the KP wiki. MY WORDS and the ARTICLES THEY MAKE are what is copyrighted and to simply copy them without my permission (or at least permission from the source wiki admins) is called Plagiarism.

And I'm the admin on quite a few wikis, so multiply the annoyance factor of seeing my words and wholesale copying of my articles and re-uploads of IMAGES I TOOK, COMPOSED, AND UPLOADED on other wikias by a factor of 40 or so. (Especially since if asked, I will usually give permission provided credit and attribution is properly given.)

Fandom/Wikia.com takes the LAW regarding Copyrights and Plagiarism SERIOUSLY. Unrepented abuses of either can result in blocked and closed accounts and even shut down wikias. So if we are found harboring plagiarized articles and images and take no action to remove them, the entirety of Villains Wiki is placed in jeopardy.

And I'm sure you'd not want to try to visit here one day only to find a stark white placard saying "wikia not found".
