Which files? The Kenneth Robeson material? I have no idea why they are there. Ask the chap that runs the site.
In practical terms, I don't think CN will go after them. Going after Blackmask is one thing, since the site and proprietor were in the US. Going after a site and site owner in Australia is a far more complex and costly operation. CN's interest in shutting down Blackmask appeared to be clearly establishing they owned the rights to the stories, in anticipation of potentially lucrative licensing deals for films based on the characters. I'd say they've done that. They may not consider the time and expense of going after a site in OZ worth it.
