<Snipped quote by Expolar>

The creator had a advertisement of his on avatar creator site on tektek. Gaia didn't like it and notified him about copyright things and claim they just wanted him to remove it. But it appears the creator just gave up on it and just shut it down for good

He was sent a DMCA which he would have to dispute. He was required to take the site down. That's probably when he gave up because it's an absolute pain to deal with. Gaia is probably just trying to cover their butts with saying they only wanted him to take the ad down.
